Q132

Two bodies of unequal masses are dropped from a tower. At any instant, they have equal

  1. (a) Momentum
  2. (b) AccelerationCorrect answer
  3. (c) Potential energy
  4. (d) Kinetic energy

Solution.

Answer: (b) Acceleration

  1. Neglecting air resistance, both bodies experience the same gravitational acceleration gg, independent of mass.
  2. Momentum mvmv, kinetic energy mv2/2mv^{2}/2 and potential energy mghmgh depend on mass and are not generally equal.
