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.
the answer is a because they start on the north side
Check the current weather map for 2 different times, and see where the center of the storm is. That tells you what direction it's moving. With its speed and direction, you have its velocity.
