Question

Two stones of different masses are thrown vertically upward with same initial velocity. Which one will rise to a greater height?

• A. Stone of lower mass
• B. Stone of higher mass
• C. Both will rise to the same height
• D. Information given is insufficient

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Both will rise to the same height

Both the stones will rise to the same height. It is because, for a body moving with given initial velocity and acceleration, the distance covered is same. It does not depend on body's mass.
