Q. |
Two stones of different masses are dropped simultaneously from the top of a building – |
A. | Smaller stone reaches the ground earlier |
B. | Larger stone reaches the ground earlier |
C. | Both the stones reach the ground at the same time |
D. | Depends on the composition of the stone |
Answer» C. Both the stones reach the ground at the same time | |
Explanation: Both stones at the same Lime. The initial speed is 0 for both stones, and the only acceleration working in that system would be g (Gravity acceleration). So, as the distance is the same, the final speed will be the same time. The only reason which could change this result is a difference in the shape of the stones. While they fall to the ground, they must "open" a way across the air. The shape of the falling object will decide the force needed to open that way. |
