Two bodies of masses 5 kg and 80 kg are at same height if one is dropped vertically downward and another one horizontally with same initial velocity, which one will reach on earth sooner?

A

Heavier

B

Lighter

C

Both on same time

D

Upreductable

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Both will reach on ground at the same time, as the time taken to reach the ground does not depend upon mass of a body

Assertion : Two bodies of unequal masses m_1 and m_2 are dropped from the same height.
