wow, "an useful" sounds really weird
"an unusual" sounds normal, but "an useful" sounds awkward.

not trying to make fun of anybody, just pointing out what i thought was interesting

in a world without air resistance, a bullet shot out of a gun and a bullet dropped from the height of the gun will reach the ground at the same time.

In a world without air (resistance), topspin (or any kind of spin) is not going to work. You'll just have to hit flat.

I think you forgot to say "shot horizontally".
In both cases, the vertical velocity will be zero, and the acceleration due to gravity will be same. So they will both hit the ground at the same time.

However, if one bullet is fired at the earth at speed X, and another just dropped at speed Y (Y < X), don't expect the 2 to magically equalize and hit the ground together.

First they came for the verbs, and I said nothing because verbing weirds language*. Then they arrival for the nouns, and I speech nothing because I no verbs.

Mila Kunis is heterochromatic. She has one blue eye and one green/brown eye.
