In a classic experiment, a ball (Ball 1) is dropped from a specific height. At the same time, an identical ball (Ball 2) is launched horizontally from the same height. Which
ball hits the ground first?

A.) The dropped ball (Ball 1) because its path is shorter,

B.) The launched ball(Ball 2) because the ball's velocity is greater.

C.) The two balls will reach the ground at the same time because the horizontal and vertical planes of motion are independent of each other and they were also released from the same height.

D.) It is not possible to determine which ball hits the ground first because of the complex nature of motion
