Answer #1

Answer : Both bullets will hit the ground at the same instant. Unless the bullet is specially designed to somehow generate lift during flight, the horizontal wind resistance will have no effect at all on vertical motion. You can ignore the horizontal component entirely, and both bullets will fall the same distance through air of the same density and hit the ground at exactly the same instant—no matter how high they are fired from.
