Two similar objects , initially at rest,...

Two similar objects , initially at rest, were dropped from a same height. If one of the objects is at poles and another is at equator, which will reach the ground quicker?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine which of the two similar objects dropped from the same height will reach the ground quicker—one dropped at the poles and the other at the equator—we need to analyze the forces acting on each object and their respective accelerations. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Situation**: - We have two similar objects dropped from the same height (H). - One object is dropped at the North Pole, and the other is dropped at the Equator. ...
