When particle is thrown in vertical downward direction with velocity , then the final velocity at the ground level is


Another particle is thrown horizontally with same velocity then at the surface of earth.

Horizontal component of velocity

Therefore, resultant velocity,

For both the particles, final velocities when they reach the earth's surface are equal.
