A body is falling from height 'h' it takes `t_(1)` time to rech the ground. The time taken to cover the first half of height is:-

A

` sqrt(2) t_(1)`

B

`(t_(1))/(2)`

C

`(t_(1))/(sqrt(2))`

D

`2t_(1)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Time of fall to ground =` t_(1) = sqrt((2g)/g) `
Let the time taken to cover h/2 is` t_(2)`,
then ` t_(2) = sqrt((2h)/(2g)) = sqrt((h)/(g)) = (t_(1))/(sqrt(2))`
Hence correct answer is (C).
