The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will analyze the motion of the two bodies dropped from heights \( h_1 \) and \( h_2 \). We will use the equations of motion under uniform acceleration due to gravity. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Initial Conditions**: - Both bodies are dropped from rest, so their initial velocities \( u_1 \) and \( u_2 \) are 0. - The acceleration \( g \) is constant for both bodies. 2. **Use the Equation of Motion for Height**: - The equation of motion for an object in free fall is given by: \[ h = ut + \frac{1}{2}gt^2 \] - For the first body: \[ h_1 = 0 \cdot t_1 + \frac{1}{2} g t_1^2 \Rightarrow h_1 = \frac{1}{2} g t_1^2 \] - For the second body: \[ h_2 = 0 \cdot t_2 + \frac{1}{2} g t_2^2 \Rightarrow h_2 = \frac{1}{2} g t_2^2 \] 3. **Establish the Ratio of Heights**: - Taking the ratio of \( h_1 \) and \( h_2 \): \[ \frac{h_1}{h_2} = \frac{\frac{1}{2} g t_1^2}{\frac{1}{2} g t_2^2} = \frac{t_1^2}{t_2^2} \] - This implies: \[ \frac{t_1}{t_2} = \sqrt{\frac{h_1}{h_2}} \] 4. **Use the Equation of Motion for Velocity**: - The final velocity of an object in free fall is given by: \[ v = u + gt \] - For the first body: \[ v_1 = 0 + g t_1 \Rightarrow v_1 = g t_1 \] - For the second body: \[ v_2 = 0 + g t_2 \Rightarrow v_2 = g t_2 \] 5. **Establish the Ratio of Velocities**: - Taking the ratio of \( v_1 \) and \( v_2 \): \[ \frac{v_1}{v_2} = \frac{g t_1}{g t_2} = \frac{t_1}{t_2} \] - This implies: \[ \frac{v_1}{v_2} = \sqrt{\frac{h_1}{h_2}} \] 6. **Conclusion**: - From the above calculations, we have established the following relationships: - \( \frac{h_1}{h_2} = \left(\frac{t_1}{t_2}\right)^2 \) - \( \frac{v_1}{v_2} = \sqrt{\frac{h_1}{h_2}} \) - Therefore, the correct options are: - Option 1: \( \frac{h_1}{h_2} = \left(\frac{t_1}{t_2}\right)^2 \) - Option 3: \( \frac{v_1}{v_2} = \sqrt{\frac{h_1}{h_2}} \)

To solve the problem, we will analyze the motion of the two bodies dropped from heights \( h_1 \) and \( h_2 \). We will use the equations of motion under uniform acceleration due to gravity. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Initial Conditions**: - Both bodies are dropped from rest, so their initial velocities \( u_1 \) and \( u_2 \) are 0. - The acceleration \( g \) is constant for both bodies. ...
