The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the statements (A) and (R) given in the problem: **Statement (A)**: A body projected vertically up or down from the top of a tower with the same velocity will reach the ground with the same velocity. **Statement (R)**: Both the bodies projected vertically up and down will have the same displacement and acceleration. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Motion**: - When a body is projected upwards, it will initially move against the gravitational force until it reaches its maximum height and then falls back down. - When a body is projected downwards, it will move directly towards the ground under the influence of gravity. 2. **Analyzing the Final Velocity**: - For both cases, we can use the kinematic equation: \[ v^2 = u^2 + 2as \] - Where: - \( v \) = final velocity - \( u \) = initial velocity (which is the same for both cases, denoted as \( v_0 \)) - \( a \) = acceleration (for both cases, it is \( g \) downwards) - \( s \) = displacement (which is the height of the tower, denoted as \( h \)) 3. **Applying the Kinematic Equation**: - For the body projected upwards: \[ v^2 = (-v_0)^2 + 2(-g)(h) \] (Here, \( -g \) is used because the acceleration is directed downwards.) - For the body projected downwards: \[ v^2 = v_0^2 + 2gh \] 4. **Final Velocity Calculation**: - In both cases, when we calculate the final velocity just before hitting the ground, we will find that: \[ v^2 = v_0^2 + 2gh \] - The final velocity \( v \) will be the same in magnitude for both cases, but the direction will be opposite (downwards). 5. **Displacement and Acceleration**: - Both bodies travel the same vertical distance \( h \) (the height of the tower). - The acceleration due to gravity \( g \) is the same for both bodies. 6. **Conclusion**: - Thus, both statements (A) and (R) are true. Statement (R) correctly explains statement (A) because both bodies experience the same displacement and acceleration, leading to the same final velocity. ### Final Answer: - **(A)** is true. - **(R)** is true and correctly explains (A).
