Q2.

A ball is dropped from rest from height $h$ above the ground in frame $S$ (the Earth's frame). Another frame $S'$ is moving upwards with constant speed $u$ relative to the Earth. In frame $S'$, the ball has initial downward speed $v$. Pertaining to the change in kinetic energy $(\Delta K)$ of the ball from release to just before hitting the ground as measured in frames $S$ and $S'$ separately, which one of the following is correct?

(A)
$\Delta K$ is the same in both the frames.
(B)
$\Delta K$ is larger in frame $S$.
(C)
$\Delta K$ is larger in frame $S'$.
(D)
$\Delta K$ cannot be compared without the information of mass of the ball.
