Two balls a `A` and `B` of same size are dropped from the same point under gravity. The mass of `A` is greater than that of `B`.If the air resistance acting on each ball is same, then

A

both the balls reach the ground simultaneously

B

the ball `A` reaches earlier

C

the ball `B` reaches earlier

D

nothing can be said

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`a = (m g - F)/(m) = g - (F)/(m)`

:. `a_(A) gt a_(A)` and `A` will reach earlier
