The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the motion of both particles A and B. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Problem:** - Particle A is dropped from a height \( h \). - Particle B is thrown horizontally from the same height \( h \) with a speed of \( 5 \, \text{m/s} \). 2. **Analyzing Particle A:** - Since particle A is dropped, its initial vertical velocity \( u_A = 0 \). - The only force acting on it is gravity, with acceleration \( g \). - Using the equation of motion for vertical displacement: \[ h = u_A t + \frac{1}{2} g t^2 \] Substituting \( u_A = 0 \): \[ h = 0 + \frac{1}{2} g t^2 \] Rearranging gives: \[ h = \frac{1}{2} g t^2 \implies t^2 = \frac{2h}{g} \implies t_A = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}} \] 3. **Analyzing Particle B:** - Particle B is thrown horizontally, so its initial vertical velocity \( u_B = 0 \) in the vertical direction. - The vertical motion is still influenced by gravity \( g \). - Using the same equation of motion: \[ h = u_B t + \frac{1}{2} g t^2 \] Substituting \( u_B = 0 \): \[ h = 0 + \frac{1}{2} g t^2 \] Rearranging gives: \[ h = \frac{1}{2} g t^2 \implies t^2 = \frac{2h}{g} \implies t_B = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}} \] 4. **Comparing Times of Flight:** - From the calculations, we find: \[ t_A = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}} \quad \text{and} \quad t_B = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}} \] - This shows that both particles A and B take the same time \( t \) to reach the ground. 5. **Conclusion:** - Since both particles A and B reach the ground simultaneously, the correct statement is: - **Both particles will reach the ground simultaneously.** ### Final Answer: The correct statement is that both particles A and B will reach the ground simultaneously. ---
