NDA General Ability Question (2025) — Solution

Question

Two bodies of unequal masses are dropped from a tower. At any instant, they have equal

Options

  1. A. Momentum
  2. B. Acceleration
  3. C. Potential energy
  4. D. Kinetic energy

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 g, which is independent of the mass of the body. Therefore, both bodies will have the same acceleration at any instant. Momentum p = mv, kinetic energy K = 1 2 mv^2, and potential energy U = mgh all depend on the mass m of the body. Since the masses are unequal, their momentum, kinetic energy, and potential energy will be different. Answer : Acceleration
