A body is dropped from a height above the ground. If it takes seconds to reach the ground, its position after time from the start is:
- A.H/4 above the ground
- B.3H/4 above the groundCorrect answer
- C.H/2 above the ground
- D.H/8 above the ground
Solution
Total height . Distance fallen in time is . Therefore, the position above the ground is .
