Question

If two balls of masses m, and m2 (m, = 2m2) are dropped from the same height, then the ratio of the time taken by them to reach ground will
be
O2m2: m1
o 1:1
Om : mz
O 1:2

Answer 1

Answer:

time taken to reach the ground by two balls of different masses is same as long as they are dropped from the same height. Time taken by a falling object is independent of their mass.

answer is 1:1

Answer 2

Concept introduction:

The acceleration an object experiences as a result of gravitational force is known as acceleration due to gravity. $m/s^{2}$ is its SI unit. Its vector nature—which includes both magnitude and direction—makes it a quantity. The unit g stands for gravitational acceleration. At sea level, the standard value of g on earth's surface is $9.8$  $m/s^{2}$.

Explanation:

Given that, two body of mass m and m$2$ dropped from same height.

We have to find, the ratio of time taken by them to reach the ground.

According to the question,

The acceleration due to gravity is independent of mass therefore the time taken by both m and m$2$ will be same. Hence the ratio of time taken by two masses to reach the ground is $1:1$.

Final Answer:

The ratio of time taken is $1:1$.
