Question: A stone falls freely under gravity. It covers distances $ h _1,h _2 $ and $ h _3 $ , in the first 5 seconds, the next 5 seconds and the next 5 seconds respectively. The relation between $ h _1,h _2 $ and $ h _3 $ is

Options:

A) $ h _1=2h _2=3h _3 $

B) $ h _1=\frac{h _2}{3}=\frac{h _3}{5} $

C) $ h _2=3h _1 $ and $ h _3=3h _2 $

D) $ h _1=h _2=h _3 $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

  • The relation between $ h _1,h _2 $ and $ h _3 $ is $ h _1=\frac{h}{3}=\frac{h _3}{5} $
    $ \Rightarrow h _1:h _2:h _3=1:3:5 $
