Question

A student throws a heavy red ball horizontally from a balcony of a tall building with an initial speed v0. At the same time, a second student drops a lighter blue ball from the same balcony. Neglecting air resistance, which statement is true?

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct statement must be: both balls hit the floor at the same time

Explanation:

This is a kinematics exercise. The ball thrown horizontally does not have vertical speed and the ball that is released does not have vertical speed, therefore both take the same time to reach the ground, if we neglect the air resistance

The correct statement must be: both balls hit the floor at the same time
