    Three different objects of masses \[F=-\frac{{{k}_{1}}{{k}_{2}}}{{{k}_{1}}+{{k}_{2}}}y\] and \[\frac{{{k}_{1}}{{k}_{2}}}{{{k}_{1}}+{{k}_{2}}}\] are allowed to fall from rest and from the same point O along three different frictionless paths. The speeds of three objects on reaching the ground will be:

    A) \[n=\frac{1}{2\pi }\sqrt{\frac{{{k}_{1}}{{k}_{2}}}{({{k}_{1}}+{{k}_{2}})m}}\]          

    B)       \[\frac{1}{k}=\frac{1}{{{k}_{1}}}+\frac{1}{{{k}_{2}}}\]                     

    C) \[k=\frac{{{k}_{1}}{{k}_{2}}}{{{k}_{1}}+{{k}_{2}}}\]          

    D)       \[n=\frac{1}{2\pi }\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    When a body is dropped down freely from a height, it begins to fall towards the earth under gravity and its velocity of fall continuously increases. This acceleration due to gravity (g) is same for all bodies and does not depend on shape, size or mass of body. Hence, speed of three objects on reaching the ground will be same i.e., 1:1:1. Note: Had air-friction been taken into account then velocities would not have been same.
