  • \(V_B >V_m\)

  • \(V_B<V_m\)

  • \(V_B=V_m\)

  • \(V_B\  and \ V_m\  can't\  related\)

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

The speed of both the man \((V_m)\) slipping on a frictionless inclined plane and the bag \((V_B)\) falling down from the same height is related as \(V_B = V_m\). In the absence of friction, both objects will fall with the same acceleration due to gravity, and their speeds will be equal.

So, the correct option is (C): \(V_B=V_m\)

Concepts Used:

Motion in a straight line

The motion in a straight line is an object changes its position with respect to its surroundings with time, then it is called in motion. It is a change in the position of an object over time. It is nothing but linear motion. 

Types of Linear Motion:

Linear motion is also known as the Rectilinear Motion which are of two types:

  1. Uniform linear motion with constant velocity or zero acceleration: If a body travels in a straight line by covering an equal amount of distance in an equal interval of time then it is said to have uniform motion.
  2. Non-Uniform linear motion with variable velocity or non-zero acceleration: Not like the uniform acceleration, the body is said to have a non-uniform motion when the velocity of a body changes by unequal amounts in equal intervals of time. The rate of change of its velocity changes at different points of time during its movement.
