The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of a particle falling freely under gravity, we need to analyze the distances covered in two different time intervals. Let's break down the solution step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the Motion The particle is falling freely under gravity, which means it starts from rest and accelerates downwards with an acceleration equal to \( g \) (acceleration due to gravity). ### Step 2: Use the First Equation of Motion For the first \( t \) seconds, the distance covered \( d_1 \) can be calculated using the equation of motion: \[ d_1 = \frac{1}{2} g t^2 \] This equation is derived from the fact that the initial velocity \( u = 0 \) and the distance covered under constant acceleration is given by \( s = ut + \frac{1}{2} a t^2 \). ### Step 3: Calculate the Distance for the Next \( t \) Seconds For the next \( t \) seconds (from \( t \) to \( 2t \)), the total distance covered \( d_1 + d_2 \) can be calculated using the same equation: \[ d_1 + d_2 = \frac{1}{2} g (2t)^2 \] This simplifies to: \[ d_1 + d_2 = \frac{1}{2} g (4t^2) = 2g t^2 \] ### Step 4: Relate \( d_1 \) and \( d_2 \) Now we have two equations: 1. \( d_1 = \frac{1}{2} g t^2 \) 2. \( d_1 + d_2 = 2g t^2 \) From the second equation, we can express \( d_2 \): \[ d_2 = 2g t^2 - d_1 \] Substituting \( d_1 \) from the first equation: \[ d_2 = 2g t^2 - \frac{1}{2} g t^2 = \frac{4}{2} g t^2 - \frac{1}{2} g t^2 = \frac{3}{2} g t^2 \] ### Step 5: Establish the Relationship Between \( d_1 \) and \( d_2 \) From the above, we can see: \[ d_2 = 3 d_1 \] ### Step 6: Express \( t \) in Terms of \( d_1 \) and \( g \) We can now express \( t \) in terms of \( d_1 \) and \( g \). From the equation for \( d_1 \): \[ d_1 = \frac{1}{2} g t^2 \implies t^2 = \frac{2 d_1}{g} \implies t = \sqrt{\frac{2 d_1}{g}} \] ### Final Result Thus, the time \( t \) is given by: \[ t = \sqrt{\frac{2 d_1}{g}} \]
