From the top of a tower two stones, whose masses are in the ratio 1 : 2 are thrown one straight up with an initial speed u and the second straight down with the same speed u . Then, neglecting air resistance

A

The heavier stone hits the ground with a higher speed

B

The lighter stone hits the ground with a higher speed

C

Both the stones will have the same speed when they hit the ground

D

The speed can't be determined with the given data

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Speed of stones is independent of mass
`v^2 = u^2 + 2gh`
