                   A ball of mass 2 kg and another of mass 4 kg are dropped together from a 60 feet tall building. After a fall of 30 feet each towards earth, their respective kinetic energies will be in the ratio of:            

    A) \[\sqrt{2}:1\]

    B)                1 : 4                               

    C) 1 : 2             

    D) \[1:\sqrt{2}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

      Key Idea: In a free fall, two balls of different mass will acquire the same velocity after falling through same height. From key idea, \[{{v}_{1}}={{v}_{2}}=v\] at a 30 feet from falling point. Here,\[{{m}_{1}}=2kg,\,\,\,{{m}_{2}}=4kg\] Thus,     \[\frac{{{K}_{1}}}{{{K}_{2}}}=\frac{\frac{1}{2}{{m}_{1}}{{v}^{2}}}{\frac{1}{2}{{m}_{2}}{{v}^{2}}}=\frac{{{m}_{1}}}{{{m}_{2}}}=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}\]
