Two balls of masses m and 2m are dropped from a height h. Neglecting air resistance, which hits the ground with greater momentum? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Two balls of masses m and 2m are dropped from a height h. Neglecting air resistance, which hits the ground with greater momentum?
A. Depends on height
B. m
C. Both same
D. 2m
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Both reach same velocity v = √(2gh). Momentum = mass × v, so larger mass has greater momentum. KE different, but momentum differs.

Question #2
Projectile horizontal range maximum at angle:
A. 60°
B. 45°
C. 90°
D. 30°

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Range R = u²sin(2θ)/g. sin(2θ) maximum (=1) when 2θ=90° ⇒ θ=45°. Standard result for level ground projection. Memory aid: 'Max range at 45°; max height at 90°'. Projectile motion fact frequently tested in competitive exams.
