In a famous physics demonstration, ball A is dropped from some height, while an identical ball B is simultaneously shot horizontally from the same height. Assuming the experiment happens over a level floor and that the balls are small and slow moving enough to neglect air resistance, what should be the result?



a. It’s a tie

b. Ball B hits the floor first

c. Ball A hits the floor first

d. There’s no way to tell for sure

in the absence of friction or lift
a. it's a tie
