From a 10 m high building a stone 'A' is dropped, and simultaneously another identical stone 'B' is thrown horizontally with an initial speed of `5ms^(-1)`. Which one of the following statement is true?

A

It is not possible to calculate which one of the two stones will reaches the ground first

B

Both the stones (A and B) will reaches the ground simultaneously

C

A' stone reaches the ground earlier then 'B'

D

B' stone reaches the ground earlier then 'A'

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
b

`h=1/2"gt"^(2)`
h and g are the same for both the ballls, so time of ball 't' will also be the same for both of them ( h is vertical height).
