NEETPhysicsMotion in Two Dimensions

Assertion : Particle-1 is dropped from a tower and particle-2 is projected horizontal from the same tower. Then, both the particles reach the ground simultaneously. Reason : Both the particles strike the ground with different speeds.

Options

  1. AIf both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
  2. BIf both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
  3. CIf Assertion is true but Reason is false.
  4. DIf Assertion is false but Reason is true.

Correct answer

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

Step-by-step solution

Both the Assertion and the Reason are correct, but the reason is not the correct explanation for the assertion. - Assertion: This statement is true. The time for an object to fall a given vertical distance is determined only by its initial vertical velocity and gravitational acceleration. Since both particles start with zero vertical velocity and fall from the same height, they take the same time to hit the ground. - Reason: This statement is also true. Particle 1, which is dropped, only has a final vertical veloci
