Two bodies of mass M and m are allowed to fall from the same height. If the air resistance for each be the same, then will both the bodies reach the earth simultaneously?

Answer»

Solution :No, The FORCES acting on the BODY of mass M are: It's weight Mg and resistance F. `therefore` net force = Mg- F Now acceleration `a = (Mg - F)/M = g - F/M`
Thus, acceleration of the ody of LARGE mass will be greater and hence it will REACH earlier.
