Both bricks will hit the ground at the same time.
Falling vertically is always accelerating at 9.8 m/s² because of gravity.
Nothing that's happening horizontally has any effect on that.
The brick that happens to have some horizontal motion will
probably hit the ground way over there, but that will still be
at the same TIME as this one.
This is a perfect place to remind you of the old unbelievable story,
which I'll bet you heard before:
If you fire a bullet horizontally from a gun, and at the exact same
moment you DROP another bullet out of your hand next to the gun,
the two bullets will hit the ground at the same time ! Even though
they'll be far apart.
Horizontal speed has no effect on vertical behavior.
When you talk about rate, you will expect that it will be in terms of a time unit. It measures how fast it is going. So, you would expect that the denominator is in time units. For the movement, you can measure this with either distance or velocity.
So, for the first variety, you would need distance and time to measure the rate of how far you go at a certain time. It is also called as velocity. For the second variety, you would need velocity and time to measure the rate of how fast you are going at a certain interval. It is also called as acceleration.
