    When two particles each of mass m are dropped  from height h and 2h respectively, then the ratio of their times to reach the ground is

    A)  \[1:\sqrt{2}\]                   

    B)         \[\sqrt{2}:1\]

    C)  \[1:2\]                 

    D)         \[2:1\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    From relation\[h=ut+\frac{1}{2}g{{t}^{2}}\] (with\[u=0,\]) we have \[h=\frac{1}{2}g{{t}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[t=\sqrt{\left( \frac{2h}{g} \right)}\propto \sqrt{h}\] \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{{{t}_{1}}}{{{t}_{2}}}=\sqrt{\left( \frac{{{h}_{1}}}{{{h}_{2}}} \right)}\sqrt{\left( \frac{h}{2h} \right)}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\]
