Assertion: When the body is dropped or thrown horizontally from the same height, it would reach the ground at the same time.
Reason: Horizontal velocity has no effect on the vertical direction.

A

If both the assertion and reason are true and reason is a true explantion of the assertion.

B

If both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not true the correct explantion of the assertion.

C

If the assertion is true but reason false

D

If both the assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
a
Both body will take same time to reach the earth because vertical downward component of velocity for both the bodies will be zero and time of decent `t=sqrt((2k)/g)`. Horizontal velocity has no effect on the vertical direction.
