Will the object that is dropped hit the ground before an object that is that it is thrown horizontally from the same height?

No. They both hit the ground at the same time, because the
VERTICAL component of velocity in both cases is the same.

True or false an object that is dropped will hit the ground before an object that is thrown horizontally from the same height?
False, provided the drop occurs no sooner than the throw, and the ground is flat .
Is an object that is dropped will hit the ground before an object that is thrown horizontally from the same height?
No. They both hit the ground at the same time. This is because the VERTICAL component of velocity in both cases is the same.
Why an arrow shot horizontally and an arrow dropped straight down from the same height will hit the ground at the same time?
yes because they have the same gravitational potential
A dart is fired horizontally from a dart gun and another dart is dropped simultaneously from the same height If air resistance can be neglected which dart hits the ground first?
they hit same time
What do you need to know to determine how far a projectile travels horizontally?
initial velocity, angle of launch, height above ground When a projectile is launched you can calculate how far it travels horizontally if you know the height above ground it was launched from, initial velocity and the angle it was launched at. 1) Determine how long it will be in the air based on how far it has to fall (this is why you need the height above ground). 2) Use your initial velocity to determine the horizontal component of velocity 3) distance travelled horizontally = time in air (part 1) x horizontal velocity (part 2)

Which will hit the ground first a ball thrown horizontally at 2 meters per second off a building 20 m high or a ball dropped by a hand at the same height?
They should reach the ground together, since their initial vertical speed is the same, namely zero.
Does it take longer for a raindrop to hit the ground if it is being blown horizontally by the wind than it would if it were falling perfectly vertical in a vacuum?
If both raindrops are dropped at the same time from the same height, then no, it does not take any longer, They will hit the ground at the same time because the vertical distance to the ground remains the same.One just travels further away
How long will it take an object dropped from a height of 500 feet to hit the ground?
4 seconds
If a cannon fires a cannonball horizontally and you drop a cannonball at the same time which will hit the ground first?
A cannonball fired horizontally and one dropped from the height of the muzzle simultaneous with the shot will hit the ground at the same instant, provided only that the ground under the muzzle and the ground where the shot lands are at the same elevation, i.e. the shot was not fired off the edge of a cliff or into the side of a mountain. To solve this kind of problems, it often helps to separate the movement, or the speed, into vertical and horizontal components. In this case, the vertical component of the speed is the same.
A stone has a mass of 0.15 gram is dropped from a height of sixty meter how much work is needed before it stuck to the ground?
You don't need any work to drop a stone!
Why does a body exerts more force on ground when it is dropped from a certain height than when it at rest at the ground although in both the cases mass and acceleration is constant See discussion too?
Interesting question. But when the object is at rest the potential energy of the object is 0, on the surface that is. When it is on a height h it's potential energy increase and when it is dropped from that height all that potential energy gets converted to kinetic energy just before hitting the ground. This extra force comes from this kinetic energy.
If two object of different density are dropped simultaneously which one will hit the ground first?
as done in Galileo's experiment when he dropped a large rock and a feather from a tall tower both hit the ground at the same moment when dropped from the same height.
