Simultaneously, from the top of a tower, when ball- 1 is thrown horizontally and ball- 2 is just dropped, in the absence of air resistance which among the following options is correct?

Options

  1. ABall-1 reaches the ground first.
  2. BBall-2 reaches the ground first.
  3. CBoth will reach the ground simultaneously.
  4. DEither ball-1 or ball-2 reach the ground first depending on which ever is heavier.

Correct answer

C. Both will reach the ground simultaneously.

Step-by-step solution

When ball-1 drops from the top of a tower horizontally and at the same time, ball-2 is dropped vertically downward from the tower, then both balls will move under the effect of same value of gravitational acceleration (g ). Therefore, both balls will reach at the same time on the ground.
