What is the distance covered by a free falling body during the first four seconds of its motion?
Answers
Answer:
s(n)=g/2(2n-1)
put n=1
s(n)=10/2(2×1-1)
5×1m
5m...

Explanation:
Whether explicitly stated or not, the value of the acceleration in the kinematic equations is -9.8 m/s/s for any freely falling object. If an object is merely dropped (as opposed to being thrown) from an elevated height, then the initial velocity of the object is 0 m/s.
What is the distance covered by a free falling body during the first four seconds of its motion?
Initial velocity of the body u=0
Distance covered in n th
second, S n =u+ 21 g(2n−1)
∴ S n = 21
g(2n−1) (as u=0)
Distance moved in 1 st second i.e. n=1,
S 1 = 21 g(2×1−1)= 21 g
Distance moved in 2 nd second i.e. n=2,
S 2 = 21 g(2×2−1)= 23 g
Distance moved in 3 rd second i.e. n=3,
S 3 = 21 g(2×3−1)= 25 g
⟹ S 1 :S 2 :S 3 =1:3:5
