A solid sphere and a hollow sphere are thrown horizontally from a cliff with equal velocities, respectively. Then which sphere reaches first on earth ?
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Both spheres reach the ground due to vertical component of velocity. As initial component of velocity of both spheres is zero, therefore both will reach the earth silmultaneously. The time taken being given by :
h = u y t + 
= 0 + 
⇒ t =
