Question

An iron ball and a wooden ball are released from a height in vacuum. The speed of the iron ball would be:

• A. Same to the speed of the wooden ball
• B. More than the speed of the wooden ball
• C. Lesser than the speed of the wooden ball
• D. None

Answer 1

The correct option is A Same to the speed of the wooden ball

For a body under freefall

$v=\sqrt{2gh}$

As we can see the speed is independent of the mass and material properties.

So, both the balls will have same speed.

Hence correct answer is option $A$
