Two bodies, one held 1 m vertically above the other, are released simultaneously and fall freely under gravity. After 2 second, the relative separation of the bodies will be:

Two bodies, one held 1 m vertically above the other, are released simultaneously and fall freely under gravity. After 2 second, the relative separation of the bodies will be:

Now, initial separation = 1 m

Body 1:

Initial Speed = 0

Acceleration = 9.8 ms^-2

Time = 2 seconds

Now, we know that,

So,

m

Body 2:

Initial Speed = 0

Acceleration = 9.8 ms^-2

Time = 2 seconds

Now, we know that,

So,

m

Since, so final separation is also 1 m.

Hence, option D is correct.
