Two balls, identical except for color, are projected horizontally from the elevated stage at the same time. The initial speed of the pink ball is twice the initial speed of the violet ball. Which of the following statements is CORRECT ignoring air resistance?
A. The pink ball reaches the ground first. B. The violet ball reaches the ground first. C. Both balls land at the same instant with the same speed. D. Both balls land at the same instant with different speeds
D. Both balls land at the same instant with different speeds
Explanation:
Both balls will have a projectile motion. Since both the balls has no velocity in the vertical direction, the balls will reach the ground at the same instant. But since the pink ball has double the horizontal velocity of the violet ball, pink ball will have higher speed when reaching the ground.
