Question #1 Report Error
A ball is dropped from a height 'h' and simultaneously another ball is thrown horizontally from the same height. Which ball will hit the ground first? (Neglect air resistance)
A. Depends on the initial horizontal velocity
B. Both will hit the ground simultaneously
C. The horizontally thrown ball
D. The dropped ball

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Vertical and horizontal motions are completely independent. Both balls have zero initial downward (vertical) velocity and both are subject to the same downward acceleration due to gravity (g). Since the vertical height (h) is the same, using h = ut + ½gt², time t = √(2h/g) applies equally to both. Thus, they hit the ground simultaneously.

The device used to measure electric potential difference is
A. Ohmmeter
B. Ammeter
C. Galvanometer
D. Voltmeter

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Voltmeter measures potential difference in volts. Connected in parallel, high resistance. Galvanometer detects small current, can be converted to ammeter/voltmeter. Ammeter for current. Ohmmeter for resistance.
