A stone falls freely from rest. The distance covered in the last second of motion equals the distance covered in the first 3 seconds. How long does the stone take to reach the ground?
Distance in first 3 s: $s_3 = \dfrac{1}{2}(10)(3)^2 = 45\text{ m}$
Distance in last 1 s of total time $T$ (using $s_n = u + \dfrac{a}{2}(2n-1)$ with $u=0$):
$s_{\text{last}} = \dfrac{g}{2}(2T-1) = 5(2T-1)$
Setting equal: $5(2T-1) = 45 \Rightarrow 2T-1 = 9 \Rightarrow T = \mathbf{5\text{ s}}$
Reverse-biased PN junction reverse current is of order:
Reverse saturation current is very small (μA range for Si).
Post-term Pregnancy Management (\(\geq 42\) weeks; post-dates \(\geq 41\) weeks):
This patient:
- 41+3 weeks = post-dates (risk period begins)
- Bishop score 4 = unfavorable cervix (score \(\leq 6\))
- AFI 6 cm = borderline oligohydramnios (normal: \(8{-}24\,\text{cm}\); oligohydramnios: \(\leq 5\,\text{cm}\))
- Reactive CTG = reassuring currently
Risks of post-term pregnancy:
- Placental insufficiency, meconium aspiration
- Macrosomia, shoulder dystocia
- Oligohydramnios, cord compression
- Perinatal mortality increases after 41 weeks
Management: Most guidelines recommend induction of labor by 41–42 weeks. With unfavorable cervix (Bishop score 4), cervical ripening first (Prostaglandin E₂ gel/insert or misoprostol) then oxytocin induction.
AFI trending down is additional reason not to wait further. Conservative management is inappropriate here.
