Question

5
Two bodies of different masses are dropped simultaneously from same height. If air friction acting on
them is directly proportional to the square of their mass, then,
11
a) lighter body reaches the ground earlier b) heavier body reaches the ground earlier
c) both reach the ground at the same time d) any of the above​

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) heavier body reach's the ground earlier

Explanation:

•if the bodies of different masses are considered and are seen to be falling on the ground at the exact same time and it is also being considered the friction due to air is being taken into account

•the heavier the body will be the lesser will be the action of reaction taking place on it

•and then fasted will reach the ground you to momentum gained by the heavier body
