Question

3.
Two masses m, and m, (m, > m.) are falling from the same height when same air resistance acts on them
a) m, has more acceleration
b) m, reaches the ground early
[ 1
c) m, has more velocity on striking the ground d) all the above​

Answer 1

Answer:

The force acting on the body of mass M are its weight Mg acting vertically downwards and air resistance F acting vertically upward.

Acceleration of the body

Now, M > m, therefore, the body with larger mass will have greater acceleration and it will reach the ground first.
