The answer is 9.8 ms^-2, because there is only one force acting on the object so the acceleration will be numerically equal to the gravitational field strength.
Answer:
d) The 2 athletes reach the same height, because the athletes run with the same speed.
Explanation:
In the whole process , kinetic energy is converted into potential energy .
1/2 m v² = mgh
v² = 2gh
h = v² / 2g
In this expression we see that height attained does not depend upon mass of the object . At the same time it also makes it clear that it depends upon velocity . As the velocity in both the cases are same , height attained by both of them will be same. Hence option d ) is correct.
