Question

If a body released from the top of a tower of height \(H\) meter takes \(T\) seconds to reach the ground, where is the body at time \(T/2\) seconds from the ground?

• A. \(\frac{H}{2}\)
• B. \(\frac{H}{4}\)
• C. \(\frac{3H}{4}\)
• D. \(\frac{2H}{3}\)

Hint:

For free fall from rest, distance fallen is proportional to \(t^2\). At half the total time, the body falls only one-fourth of the height.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C
