Two balls are thrown simultaneously in air. The acceleration of the centre of mass of the two balls while in air

A

depends on the direction of the motion of the balls.

B

depends on the masses of the two balls.

C

depends on the speeds of two balls

D

is equal to g

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Both the balls in airhve acceleration g downwards. Hence the acceleration of their center of mass will also be g downwards.
