1. Two balls are of same size, but the density of one is greater 1.
than that of the other. If both are dropped from the same
height then which ball will reach the earth first ( )-
(air resistance is negligible) - (1)
(1) heavy ball (2)
(2) light ball (3)
(3) both simulaneously (4)
(4) will depend upon the height of the balls from the ground level 2.

resistance, the velocity time graph of the ball during it's
time of flight will be -
