Question

two balls of different masses m1 and m2(m1>m2 ) are thrown vertically upwards with the same initial speed v0simultaneously​

1) which one of the two balls will rise to the greater height?

2) which of two balls will come back with greater speed to the point of projection?

3)which of two balls will comeback first to the point of projection?

Answer 1

let us consider the two masses are not following a parabolic path

1.both of them will rise to the same height as they're both projected with same velocity

2.both the masses will descent or fall with same speed as same acc. due to gravity is acting on them i.e.9.8ms–²

3.Both the masses will reach at same time

and the most interesting part is the same principle is working on the 3 mentioned cases.

i.e.Acceleration due to gravity is independent of mass. So both the bodies will ascend upto same height as the initial velocity is same and at the peak height the velocity becomes zero then it will fall back

Answer 2

Answer:

Since they are thrown with same speed both of them will rise to the height and will have same speed while coming back to the point of projection because equation of motion does not depend upon mass.
