Kinematics Question 507
Question: A particle (A) it’s dropped from a height and another particle (B) is thrown in horizontal direction with speed of 5 m/sec from the same height. The correct statement it’s [CBSE PMT 2002; Or it’ssa JEE 2003]
Options:
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)
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
For both cases $ t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}= $ constant. Because vertical downward component of velocity will be zero for both the particles.
