Two bodies of different masses ma, and m...

Two bodies of different masses `m_a`, and `m_b` are dropped from two different heights a and b. The ratio of the time taken by the two to cover these distances are

A

`a:b`

B

`b:a`

C

`sqrta : sqrtb`

D

`a^2 : b^2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`t = sqrt((2h)/(g)) ` Since ` t prop sqrth`
`t_1/t_2 = sqrta/sqrtb`
