    Find the ratio of the distances travelled by a body falling freely from rest in the first, second and third seconds respectively.

    A) \[1:4:9\]            

    B) \[1:2:3\]

    C) \[1:9:25\]                      

    D) \[1:3:5\]  

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[{{s}_{n}}=u+a\left[ n-\frac{1}{2} \right]\] For a freely falling body,\[u=0\]and\[a=+g\],\[\therefore {{S}_{1}}:{{S}_{2}}:{{S}_{3}}=\] \[\frac{1}{2}g{{(1)}^{2}}:\left( \frac{1}{2}g{{(2)}^{2}}-\frac{1}{2}g{{(1)}^{2}} \right):\left( \frac{1}{2}g{{(3)}^{2}}-\frac{1}{2}g{{(2)}^{2}} \right)\]
