C

`t_(A) lt t_(B)`

D

Information is insufficient to compare `t_(A) and t_(B)`.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the motion of both particles A and B. Since both particles are projected horizontally, the time taken for each particle to hit the ground depends solely on the vertical motion, which is influenced by gravity. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Vertical Motion**: - Both particles A and B are projected horizontally. The only force acting on them in the vertical direction is gravity (g = 9.81 m/s²). - The initial vertical velocity (u_y) for both particles is 0 m/s since they are projected horizontally. 2. **Using the Equation of Motion**: - The time taken to hit the ground can be derived from the second equation of motion: \[ s = u_y t + \frac{1}{2} g t^2 \] - Here, \(s\) is the vertical distance fallen (which is the same for both particles when they hit the ground), \(u_y\) is the initial vertical velocity (0 m/s), \(g\) is the acceleration due to gravity, and \(t\) is the time taken to hit the ground. 3. **Simplifying the Equation**: - Since \(u_y = 0\), the equation simplifies to: \[ s = \frac{1}{2} g t^2 \] - Rearranging gives: \[ t^2 = \frac{2s}{g} \] - Thus, the time \(t\) can be expressed as: \[ t = \sqrt{\frac{2s}{g}} \] 4. **Conclusion About Time Taken**: - Since both particles A and B fall the same vertical distance \(s\) and experience the same acceleration due to gravity \(g\), the time taken \(t_A\) for particle A and \(t_B\) for particle B to hit the ground will be the same: \[ t_A = t_B \] ### Final Answer: The time taken by both particles A and B to hit the ground is the same: \[ t_A = t_B \]
