Correct answer: 100

  1. Horizontal projectile formula

For a body thrown horizontally with speed uuu from height hhh:

  • Time to reach ground is t=2hgt=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}t=g2h​​
  • Horizontal distance is R=ut=u2hgR=ut=u\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}R=ut=ug2h​​
  1. First body

Given:

  • horizontal speed =v=v=v
  • height =H=H=H
  • range =100 m=100\,\text{m}=100m

So, 100=v2Hg(1)100=v\sqrt{\frac{2H}{g}} \qquad (1)100=vg2H​​(1)

  1. Second body

Given:

  • mass =2M=2M=2M (mass does not affect projectile motion)
  • horizontal speed =v2=\frac{v}{2}=2v​
  • height =4H=4H=4H

Time of flight: t′=2(4H)g=8Hg=22Hgt'=\sqrt{\frac{2(4H)}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{8H}{g}}=2\sqrt{\frac{2H}{g}}t′=g2(4H)​​=g8H​​=2g2H​​

Horizontal distance: R′=v2⋅22Hg=v2HgR'=\frac{v}{2}\cdot 2\sqrt{\frac{2H}{g}}=v\sqrt{\frac{2H}{g}}R′=2v​⋅2g2H​​=vg2H​​

Using equation (1), R′=100 mR'=100\,\text{m}R′=100m

  1. Final answer

The second body touches the ground at a distance of 100 m\boxed{100\text{ m}}100 m​
