The correct Answer is:
To solve the assertion and reason question, we will analyze both statements step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the Assertion The assertion states that a body dropped from a height and another body projected horizontally from the same height will strike the ground simultaneously. ### Step 2: Analyze the Motion of Both Bodies 1. **Body Dropped Vertically**: - When the first body is dropped, it starts from rest (initial vertical velocity, \( u_y = 0 \)). - The only force acting on it is gravity, which accelerates it downwards with an acceleration \( g \). - The time taken to reach the ground can be calculated using the equation of motion: \[ h = u_y t + \frac{1}{2} g t^2 \] - Since \( u_y = 0 \), the equation simplifies to: \[ h = \frac{1}{2} g t^2 \] 2. **Body Projected Horizontally**: - The second body is projected horizontally from the same height. Its initial vertical velocity is also \( u_y = 0 \). - Similar to the first body, the only force acting on it is gravity, causing it to fall with the same acceleration \( g \). - The time taken to reach the ground is also given by the same equation: \[ h = \frac{1}{2} g t^2 \] ### Step 3: Compare the Times - Since both bodies are falling from the same height \( h \) and are subject to the same gravitational acceleration \( g \), the time \( t \) taken for both bodies to hit the ground is the same. ### Step 4: Understand the Reason The reason states that horizontal velocity has no effect on the vertical motion. This is true because: - The horizontal motion and vertical motion are independent of each other in projectile motion. - The horizontal velocity only affects how far the body travels horizontally, not how quickly it falls vertically. ### Conclusion Both the assertion and reason are correct: - The assertion is true because both bodies take the same time to fall to the ground. - The reason is also true as it correctly explains why the horizontal velocity does not affect the vertical fall. ### Final Answer Both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion. ---
