Assertion An object A is dropped from the top of an incline at t=0, as shown. It will fall under gravity as indicated by the arrow. At the same time, i.e., t=0, another object B begins to slide down the frictionless incline. The two objects during their motion to the ground level will be travelling at equal speeds. Reason Net force on both the objects during their motion is same.
