a 7.26 kg bowling ball and a 0.163 kg cricket ball are simultaneously dropped from a height of 10.0 m. what can you say about the velocity of the bowling ball, vb, compared to the velocity of the cricket ball, vc, when they hit the ground?



Answer :

The velocity Vb of the bowling ball will be same as that of the cricket ball when dropped simultaneously from the same height. Because the velocity while hitting the ground is not dependent of mass.

Let us consider a general case,

Let us say the ball is dropped from a height H, its final velocity on reaching the ground is V, the acceleration g will be constant because everything is happening on the earth's surface and neglecting the air drag,

So, using equation of motion,

V ²-U²=2gH

U is the initial velocity in of the ball which is zero in our case,

So,

V²=2gH

V =√2gH

As we can see, the velocity on hitting the ground is independent of the mass.

So we can say,

Vb of the balling bowl is same as that of Vc on hitting the ground.
