Two objects A and B are thrown up with the same initial velocity. Mass of A is greater than that of B. Neglecting air resistance, which will reach a greater height?

Open in App

Solution

Both bodies A and B will reach the same maximum height as both will have the same acceleration equal to the acceleration due to gravity.
