Question

The distance travelled by a freely falling body is proportional to

Answer 1

Distance travelled by freely falling body is H=1/2gt^2. So it is directly proportional to t^2

Answer 2

Answer:

the square of time for which it falls

Explanation:

From the equations of motion

s=ut+  1/2at^2

INITIAL VELOCITY OF FREEFALL= 0

ASSUME   a=g

s=ut+1/2gt^2

s=(0)t+1/2gt^2

 s=1/2gt^2

 

From the above equation it is clear that distance travelled is directly proportional to t^2
