From a building two balls A and B are thrown such that A is thrown upwards A and B downwards (both vertically). If vA and vB are their respective velocities on reaching the ground, then

  1. their velocities depend on their masses
  2. VB > VA
  3. VA = VB
  4. VA > VB

Answer

Using conservation of energy, that is potential energy at height h is equal to the KE at ground.

This implies, for object A,

mAgh = (mAVA2)/2

VA = √2gh

Similarly

VB = √2gh

The correct option is C.
