Problem

Assertion: Two bodies of unequal masses m1m_1 and m2m_2 are dropped from the same height. If the resistance offered by air to the motion of both bodies is the same, the bodies will reach the Earth at the same time. Reason: For equal air resistance, the accelerations of fall of masses m1m_1 and m2m_2 will be different.
