Question

$B_{1}, B_{2}$, and $B_{3}$ are three balloons ascending with velocities $v, 2 v$, and $3 v$, respectively. If a bomb is dropped from each when they are at the same height, then

• A. Bomb from $B_{1}$ reaches ground first
• B. Bomb from $B_{2}$ reaches ground first
• C. Bomb from $B_{3}$ reaches ground first
• D. They reach the ground simultaneously

Answer 1
