MCQ
Two particles A and B having different masses are projected from a tower with same speed. A is projected vertically upward and B vertically downward. On reaching the ground
  • A
    velocity of A is greater than that of B.
  • B
    velocity of B is greater than that of A.
  • both A and B attain the same velocity.
  • D
    the particle with the larger mass attains higher velocity.

Answer

Correct option: C.
both A and B attain the same velocity.
(C)
Final velocity depends on acceleration and initial velocity and is independent of mass of the bodies.
