A man standing on the roof of a house of height h throws one particle vertically downwards and another particle horizontally with the same velocity u. The ratio of their velocities when they reach the earth's surface will be
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsC
When particle thrown in vertical downward direction with velocity u then final velocity at the ground level

∴ ∴ 
Another particle is thrown horizontally with same velocity then at the surface of earth.

Horizontal component of velocity 
∴ ∴ Resultant velocity, 
For both the particle final velocities when they reach the earth's surface are equal.
