All the particles thrown with same initial velocity would strike the ground. .

Answer»

with same speed.
simultaneously
time would be least for the particle thrown with velocity `v` DOWNWARD i.e., particle `1`.
time would be maximum for the particle `2`.

Solution :(a.,c.,d.) `(KE + PE)_f = (KE + PE)_i` in all situations.
Hence, `KE_f` is also equal as `PE_f = 0`. Hence, all the particles collide with the same speed.
`-h = vt_1 -(1)/(2) "gt"_1^2` [for FIRST particle] …(i)
`-h = -vt_2 - (1)/(2) "gt"_1^2` [for second particle] ...(ii)
From Eq. (i) and Eq. (ii), `t_2 gt t_1`
`t_2` = maximum, `t_1` = MINIMUM
i.e., options ( c) and (d) are correct.
