Question

7. Galileo's experiment showed that if two bodies
of unequal masses are dropped from the same
height, the times required by them to reach the
ground are equal. But if they are thrown verti-
cally upwards with the same initial velocity the
ratio of the times required to reach the ground
is equal to
(N.C.E.R.T. 1978)
(1) the ratio of their masses
(2) the inverse of the ratio of their masses
(3) one
(4) product of their masses​

Answer 1

Answer:

C

Explanation:

time taken by both masses to reach the maximum height is same and also time taken by both masses to reach the ground is same because acceleration due to gravity is independent of mass.

Answer 2

Answer:

OPTION:-'C' IS CORRECT.

BECAUSE WHEN BODY IS THROWN EITHER UPWARD OR DOWNWARD, THEN, ACCELERATION DUE TO GRAVITY DOESN'T DEPENDS ON MASS OF THE BODIES.

THAT'S WHY THEY REACH MAXIMUM HEIGHT SAME TIME...
