The one on the right
They will hit at the same time.
Not enough information.
A box is dropped from an airplane. Neglecting air resistance, where will the box be in relation to the plane when the box hits the ground?
directly under the plane because it has the same Vx as the plane.
behind the plane because the box will drop straight down
in front of the plane because the plane will throw it forward
there is not enough information to tell
