    If a freely falling body travels in the last second a distance equal to the distance travelled by it in the first three second, the time of the travel is:

    A) \[6\sec \]                                            

    B) \[5\sec \]

    C) \[4\sec \]                                            

    D) \[3\sec \]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    The distance covered in\[3\sec \],                 \[{{s}_{3}}=ut+\frac{1}{2}g{{t}^{2}}\] or            \[{{s}_{3}}=0\times t+\frac{1}{2}9.8\times {{3}^{2}}\] or            \[{{s}_{3}}=44.1m\] The distance covered in last second                 \[4.9(2t-1)=44.1\]                 \[2t-1=\frac{44.1}{4.9}=9\] or            \[2t=9+1=10\] or            \[t=5\sec \] As both the distances are equal then                 \[4.9(2t-1)=44.1\]                 \[2t-1=\frac{44.1}{4.9}=9\] or            \[2t=9+1=10\] or            \[t=5\sec \]
