What else can I help you with?
Will a shot bullet land at the same time dropped bullet?
No, the shot bullet will land after the dropped bullet. This is because the shot bullet has an initial horizontal velocity in addition to the vertical acceleration due to gravity, while the dropped bullet only has the vertical acceleration due to gravity.
If a rifle is fired horizontally and an identical bullet dropped from the height of the barrel Which hits the ground first?
They hit at almost exactly the same time. Just because the bullet from the gun is moving horizontally at high speed, this does not mean it escapes the pull of gravity. However, the direction of the fired bullet is "horizontal" (perpendicular to the vertical pull of gravity). This vector is very slightly tangential to the force of gravity, because the Earth is curved. So although the bullet path describes an arc, it is very, very slightly above the curvature of the Earth. The difference for this case would be practically immeasurable. However, for faster projectiles it would be proportionally larger.
When a rifle is fired horizontally the bullet leaves the barrel and doesnt drop at all for the first 35 meters of flight Is this true?
No, this statement is not true. When a rifle is fired horizontally, the bullet immediately begins to drop due to gravity as soon as it leaves the barrel. The rate of drop will depend on the muzzle velocity of the bullet and the distance it has traveled.
When a bullet is shot and the other one is dropped do they both land together?
No, the bullet that is shot will continue to travel at a high speed until it hits something, while the dropped bullet will fall to the ground due to gravity. The two bullets will not land together.
Does horizontal speed affect gravity?
No, horizontal speed does not affect gravity. Gravity acts vertically and is the same for all objects regardless of their horizontal speed. However, horizontal speed can affect the trajectory of an object's motion in relation to gravity.
Will a bullet travel the same distance straight up that it would horizontally?
No. The horizontal distance depends on how close the the ground the gun is. From the firing position, a bullet dropped to the ground will strike the ground in the same time as a bullet shot horizontally forward.
Will a shot bullet land at the same time dropped bullet?
No, the shot bullet will land after the dropped bullet. This is because the shot bullet has an initial horizontal velocity in addition to the vertical acceleration due to gravity, while the dropped bullet only has the vertical acceleration due to gravity.
Does a higher muzzle velocity equal a longer range?
All other factors equal (bullet mass & frontal area, angle of barrel, etc) a higher muzzle velocity will make the bullet travel further horizontally as if falls to the ground. If the barrel is level when fired , the bullet will hit the ground at the same time as a bullet dropped simutaneously from muzzle height

Why does a bullet shot horizontally hit the ground at the same time as one just dropped?
Because the horizontal and vertical motion of an object are separate. This means that a thrown object will accelerate with the same amount of acceleration as a dropped object (about 9.8 m/s2 acceleration due to gravity) causing them to hit the ground at the same time
How far does a bullet travel horizontally before gravity has an effect and takes over Is Newtons law correct that the bullet will hit the ground at the same time if it were simply dropped?
Gravity has an effect the instant the bullet leaves the barrel. The bullet starts to fall towards the earth at the same rate as the dropped bullet. However, (assuming the ground follows the curve of the earth, or you are shooting over water) the dropped bullet will hit the ground/water first. The reason is that the as the fired bullet falls the ground is receding away from it (the curve of the earth). The extreme example of this is: the bullet is fired fast enough that as it falls, the curve of the earth is 'falling' continuously away below it; we would say this bullet is now in orbit around the planet. However, if the ground you are shooting over is 'flat' (i.e. flat like a ruler, NOT following the curve of the earth) then: yes, the two bullets will hit the ground at the same time.

A bullet dropped versus a bullet fired from a gun which has greater acceleration?
The bullet fired from a gun has greater horizontal acceleration. For vertical acceleration, they are both the same.
How far does a bullet fired from a gun travel horizontally?
Too many variables to answer. Could be anywhere from inches to miles.
Ignoring air resistance a bullet fired horizontally has how many forces acting on it after leaving the rifle?
One. Only the bullet's weight. In this case, the bullet would not decelerate and will keep moving at muzzle velocity until it hits the ground.
Does horizontal speed affect gravity?
No, horizontal speed does not affect gravity. Gravity acts vertically and is the same for all objects regardless of their horizontal speed. However, horizontal speed can affect the trajectory of an object's motion in relation to gravity.
