Two bodies of unequal masses are dropped from a tower. At any instant, they have equal
Options
- AMomentum
- BAcceleration
- CPotential energy
- DKinetic energy
Correct answer
B. Acceleration
Step-by-step solution
When two bodies are dropped from a height, they fall freely under gravity.
The acceleration of a freely falling body is the acceleration due to gravity , which is independent of the mass of the body.
Therefore, both bodies will have the same acceleration at any instant.
Momentum , kinetic energy , and potential energy all depend on the mass of the body.
Since the masses are unequal, their momentum, kinetic energy, and potential energy will be different.
