QAIPM-2002-Ph-2829: NEET 2002 Physics - Class 11 AIPM-2002-Ph-2829 Solution: A particle A is dropped from a height and another particle B is …

A particle A is dropped from a height and another particle B is projected in horizontal direction with speed of 5/sec from the same height then correct statement is

Multiple Choice Options

  • A particle A will reach at ground first with respect to particle B
  • B particle B will reach at ground first with respect to particle A
  • C both particles will reach at ground simultaneously
  • D both particles will reach at ground with same speed.

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Time required to reach the ground is dependent on the vertical motion of the particle. Vertical motion of both the particles A and B are exactly same. Although particle B has an initial velocity, but that is in horizontal direction and it has no component in vertical (component of a vector at a direction of 90 o = 0) direction. Hence they will reach the ground simultaneously.
