उत्तर
A stone is thrown from a height in a direction parallel to the earth’s surface, i.e., the stone is given initial velocity in the horizontal direction.
For the vertical motion of the stone, u = 0, a – g and s = h
Using s = `"ut" + 1/2 "at"^2`
we get t = `sqrt((2"h")/"g")`
Similarly, for the second stone, vertical motion is the same as that of the first. So, both the stones would reach the ground simultaneously.

Write scientific reasons.
The value of acceleration g is greater at the pole than at the equator.
The mass of the moon is `1/81` of the mass of the earth. Its diameter is `1/3.7` of that of the earth. If acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the earth is 9.8 m/s2, then the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the moon.
The mass of a body on the surface of the earth is 10 kg. The mass of the same body on the surface on the moon is `"g"_"m" = 1/6 "g"_"e"`, where gm, ge acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the moon and the earth respectively.
