Question

A particle (A) is dropped from a height and another particle (B) is thrown in horizontal direction with speed of 5 m/sec from the same height, bith occuring at the same time. The correct statement is

• A. Both particles will reach at ground simultaneously
• B. Both particles will reach at ground with same speed
• C. Particle (A) will reach at ground first with respect to particle (B)
• D. Particle (B) will reach at ground first with respect to particle (A)

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Both particles will reach at ground simultaneously

For both cases t = $\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}$=constant.
Because vertical downward component of velocity will be zero for both the particles.
