Assertion : A stone and a feather dropped from the same height do not reach the ground at the same time.
Reason : Acceleration due to gravity is dependent on the mass of the object.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Acceleration due to gravity is independent of the mass of the object. The stone and feather dropped from the same height do not reach the ground at the same time because of air resistance.
