    A freely falling body covers half of its journey from the top of a tower in\[0.5\,\,s\]. What is the height of the tower?

    A) \[4.9\,\,m\]        

    B)        \[2.45\,\,m\]  

    C) \[9.8\,\,m\]        

    D)        \[9\,\,m\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     \[S=ut+\frac{1}{2}g{{t}^{2}}\], so\[u=0\] \[\frac{1}{2}s=0\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.8{{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{2}}\], \[\frac{1}{2}s=4.9\times \frac{1}{4}\] \[S=4.9\times \frac{1}{4}\times \frac{2}{1}=2.45\,\,m\]
