I think this is a simple question but I cannot find the answer on the Internet.
What trajectory would have a bullet if fired in a straight line towards space from the equator?
1- Assuming there is NO gravity involved,
2- Considering that the bullet is going at a constant velocity,
3- Considering the rotation of the Earth on itself.
I'm arguing with a colleague at work. He thinks the trajectory will be a straight diagonal but I think it's going to be an ellipse. Who's right?

Jonathan
