Find the ratio of the distances travelled by a freely falling body in first, second and third second of its fall.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the ratio of the distances travelled by a freely falling body in the first, second, and third seconds of its fall, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the motion of the freely falling body A freely falling body is under the influence of gravity alone. The distance travelled in a given time can be calculated using the formula: \[ s = ut + \frac{1}{2}gt^2 \] where: - \( s \) is the distance travelled, - \( u \) is the initial velocity (which is 0 for a freely falling body), ...
