Assertion: Two bodies of masses M and m(...

Assertion: Two bodies of masses `M` and `m(M gt m)` are allowed to fall from the same height if the air resistance for each be the same then both the bodies will reach the earth simultaneously.
Reason: For same air resistance, acceleration of both the bodies will be same.

A

Statement -1 is true, Statement-2 is true, Statement-2 is a correct explanation for statement -1

B

Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true, Statement-2 is not a correct explanation for Statement-1

C

Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is false

D

Statement-1 is false, Statement-2 is false

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
` a= ( mg-F )/( m ) =g-(F)/(m) `
If m is less ,than 'a' will also less.
