Two particles A and B having different masses are projected from a tower with same speed. A is projected vertically upward and B vertically downward. On reaching the ground

A

velocity of A is greater than that of B

B

velocity of B is greater than that of A

C

both A and B attain the same velocity

D

the particle with the larger mass attains higher velocity

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Motion under gravity is independent of mass . The particle A will come back to the tower with the same velocity at which it was thrown vertically upwards. Hence the downward velocities of both the particle A and B at the top of the tower are equal. Therefore both the particles will attain the same velocity on reaching the ground.
