Spherical insulating ball and a spherical metallic ball of same size and mass are dropped from the same height. Choose the correct statement out of the following (Assume negligible air friction)

  1. A Time taken by them to reach the earth's surface will be independent of the properties of their materials
  2. B Insulating ball will reach the earth's surface earlier than the metal ball
  3. C Both will reach the earth's surface simultaneously
  4. D Metal ball will reach the earth's surface earlier than the insulating ball.
Verified Solution
