NEET Physics QUESTION #7320
Question 1

A stone in free fall covers distances $h_1$, $h_2$, $h_3$ in successive 5-second intervals. The correct relation is:

  • $h_1 = h_2 = h_3$
  • $h_1 = 2h_2 = 3h_3$
  • $h_1 : h_2 : h_3 = 1 : 3 : 5$✔️
  • $h_2 = 3h_1$ and $h_3 = 3h_2$
Correct Answer Explanation

Distances in successive equal time intervals from rest are in the ratio of odd numbers: $1:3:5:7\ldots$

So $h_1 : h_2 : h_3 = 1 : 3 : 5$, i.e., $\mathbf{h_1 = \dfrac{h_2}{3} = \dfrac{h_3}{5}}$
