Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem of a freely falling body that covers half of its total distance in the last second of its journey, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the Variables Let: - \( n \) = total time of fall in seconds - \( S \) = total distance fallen - \( g \) = acceleration due to gravity (approximately \( 9.81 \, \text{m/s}^2 \)) - The distance covered in the last second, \( S_n \), is equal to half of the total distance \( S \). ...
