Q2 / 103 · NTA Abhyas (NEET) 2020 · Physics · Motion In One Dimension

A particle is released from rest from a tower of height 3h. The ratio of time taken to fall equal heights h i.e., t 1: t 2: t 3 is

  • A
    3  :  2  :  1
  • B
    3 : 2 : 1
  • C
    9 : 4 : 1
  • Correct answer
    D
    1  :  2 - 1  :  3 - 2

Solution

h⁡ = 1 2 g t 1 2

2 h⁡ = 1 2 g t 1 + t 2 2

and 3 h⁡ = 1 2 g t 1 + t 2 + t 3 2

i.e., t 1 : t 1 + t 2 : t 1 + t 2 + t 3 = 1 : 2 : 3

or t 1 : t 2 : t 3 = 1 : 2 - 1 : 3 - 2

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
