Question

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 (C) both A and B attain the same velocity (D) the particle with the larger mass attains higher velocity

The situation is diagrammatically as below <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="image" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/img/question/physics/5b294f8fd292f51b4439af273a680f21-.png" /> When A is projected with a vertical speed after sometime it comes on the same level with same speed as it was projected. Now, the downward speeds of A and B at the level-X is same. So, on reaching the ground, velocity of A and B are same.

Q. 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

velocity of A is greater than that of B

velocity of B is greater than that of A

both A and B attain the same velocity

the particle with the larger mass attains higher velocity
