    A body falls from a height h = 200 m. The ratio of distance travelled in each 2 s, during  to\[t=6\,s\]of the journey is:                                                                                                                                            [BHU M-2003]

    A)  1: 4: 9                                  

    B)  1: 2: 4

    C)  1: 3: 5                                  

    D)  1: 2: 3

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                     Key Idea: Since body is falling from rest initial velocity is zero. From the equation of motion, we have \[s=ut+\frac{1}{2}g{{t}^{2}}\] Where \[u\] us initial velocity\[\left( =\,0 \right)\], g is acceleration due to gravity and \[t\] is time. Let distance travelled in\[2s\], 4s and 6s be\[{{s}_{2}},\,{{s}_{4}},\,{{s}_{6}}\] then                                 \[{{s}_{2}}=\frac{1}{2}g{{\left( 2 \right)}^{2}}=2g\]                                 \[{{s}_{4}}=\frac{1}{2}g{{\left( 4 \right)}^{2}}=8g\]                                 \[{{s}_{6}}=\frac{1}{2}g{{\left( 6 \right)}^{2}}=18g\] Distance travelled in first two seconds is \[{{\left( {{s}_{i}} \right)}_{2}}={{s}_{2}}-{{s}_{0}}=2g\] Similarly                                 \[\left( {{s}_{{{m}_{2}}}} \right)={{s}_{4}}-{{s}_{2}}=8g-2g=6g\]                                 \[\left( {{s}_{{{m}_{3}}}} \right)={{s}_{6}}-{{s}_{4}}=18g-8g=10g\] Hence, ratio is \[2g:6g:10g=1:3:5\]
