Answer» Both of them will hit the ground at the same time. This is because initially both of them have the same velocity in the y direction initially (which will also be the velocity of the plane in the y direction). The acceleration acting on both bullets will be the same (g). The trajectories will be different, but they will hit the ground at exactly the same time. Of course, there are a few assumptions here that I make. Like there is no air resistance, the bullets are fired from the same level and the ground is flat.
