Two balls are dropped from heights `h` and `2h` respectively from the earth surface. The ratio of time of these balls to reach the earth is.

A

`1 : sqrt(2)`

B

`sqrt(2) : 1`

C

`2 : 1`

D

`1 : 2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`t=sqrt((2h)/(g))` or `t prop sqrt(h) rArr (t_(1))/(t_(2))= sqrt((h)/(2h))=1: sqrt(2)`
