Questions  

A rock of mass m is dropped to the ground from a height h.  A second rock with mass 2m is dropped from the same height.  When second rock strikes, the ground, what is its K.E.?

a
Twice that of the first rock
b
four times that of the first rock
c
the same as that of the first rock
d
half that of the first rock

detailed solution

Correct option is A

final velocity of the body dropped  from height h is    V  =   2gh K.E.=   12 mv2 for the first body KE=   12 mv2 for the second body KE=   12 (2m)v2=twice KE of first body
