Assertion: When a body is dropped or thrown horizontally from the same height, it would reach the ground at the same time. Reason: Horizontal velocity has no effect on the vertical direction. (A) If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion (B) If the Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not correct explanation of Assertion (C) If Assertion is true but, Reason is false (D) If Assertion is false but, Reason is true

Both body will take same time to reach the earth because vertical downward component of velocity for both the bodies will be zero and time of decent t=√(2 k/g), Horizontal velocity has no effect on the vertical direction.

Q. Assertion : When a body is dropped or thrown horizontally from the same height, it would reach the ground at the same time.
Reason : Horizontal velocity has no effect on the vertical direction.

If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion

If the Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not correct explanation of Assertion

If Assertion is true but, Reason is false

If Assertion is false but, Reason is true

Both body will take same time to reach the earth because vertical downward component of velocity for both the bodies will be zero and time of decent $t = \frac{2 k}{g}$ , Horizontal velocity has no effect on the vertical direction.
