48. A person slides freely down a frictionless inclined plane while his bag falls down vertically from the same height. The final speeds of the man $(V_M)$ and the bag $(V_B)$ should be such that (a) $V_M<V_B$

(b) $V_M=V_B$

[2000]

(c) they depend on the masses

(d) $V_M>V_B$

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 48. (b)

Solution:

  1. (b) As there is onlygravitational field which works. We know it is conservative field and depends only on the end points. So, $V_M=V_B$
