Motion Under Gravity

A ball is released from a height h. If t1t_1 and t2t_2 be the time required to complete first half and second half of the distance respectively. Then, choose the correct relation between t1t_1 and t2t_2.

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. First half: h2=12gt12⇒t1=h/g\frac{h}{2} = \frac{1}{2}gt_1^2 \Rightarrow t_1 = \sqrt{h/g}
  2. Whole height: T=2h/g=2 t1T = \sqrt{2h/g} = \sqrt{2}\,t_1
  3. t2=T−t1=(2−1)t1t_2 = T - t_1 = (\sqrt{2} - 1)t_1
  4. So the answer is (d) t2=(2−1)t1t_2 = (\sqrt{2} - 1)t_1.
