The ball having lighter weight will achieve greater height, when it is thrown vertically upward.

Neglecting air friction, both of them reach the same height since mass doesn't affect the distance travelled.

Here is a convenient formula that helps us find an answer to this question. v^2 = u^2 + 2aS, where "v" is the final velocity, "u" is the initial velocity, "a" is the acceleration, "S" is the distance travelled. In this case, v = 0, a = -g (acceleration due to gravity), S = h (height). Thus we get, u^2...

In this case, v = 0, a = -g (acceleration due to gravity), S = h (height). Thus we get, u^2 = 2gh, knowing "u', h can be calculated. Note that the calculation of height is independent of the mass of the object. The height depends on the velocity with which the object is projected upwards. Thus both objects reach the same height. read less

The calculation of height is independent of the mass of the object. The height depends on the velocity with which the object is projected upwards. Thus both objects reach the same height.

For obtaining maximum height, here we can use the formula v2 - u2 = 2as Where, v is the final velocity which will be zero as at the maximum height there will be no velocity. The value of 'a' will be (-g), u= initial velocity and s will give the maximum height reached by the object. -u2 = -2gs or u2 =...

The value of 'a' will be (-g), u= initial velocity and s will give the maximum height reached by the object. -u2= -2gs or u2= 2gs or s = u2/2g Here in the above formula we can see the maximum height reached by the object is independent of the mass. Its only dependent on the initial velocity; u and gravity; g which is constant So any two objects thrown with same velocity will reach same distance read less
