2.Motion in Straight Line
medium
Two bodies $A$ (of mass $1\,kg$) and $B$ (of mass $3\,kg$) are dropped from heights of $16\,m$ and $25\,m$ respectively . The ratio of the time taken by them to reach the ground is
A
$0.8$
B
$1.25$
C
$2.4$
D
$0.42$
(AIPMT-2006)
Solution
$\begin{array}{l}
Time\,taken\,by\,a\,body\,fall\,form\,a\,hight\,h\,\\
to\,reach\,the\,ground\,is\,t = \sqrt {\frac{{2h}}{g}.} \\
\therefore \,\frac{{{t_A}}}{{{t_s}}} = \frac{{\sqrt {\frac{{2{h_A}}}{g}} }}{{\sqrt {\frac{{2{h_g}}}{g}} }} = \sqrt {\frac{{{h_A}}}{{{h_B}}}} = \sqrt {\frac{{16}}{{25}}} = \frac{4}{5}.
\end{array}$
