Application +4 | -1

A particle starts from rest and moving with constant acceleration. Let

{S}_{{n}}

and

{S}_{{n}+1}

be the distance travelled by the particle in the time intervals

{t}={n}-1

{t}={n}

and

{t}={n}

{t}={n}+1

respectively. The ratio

\frac{S_n}{S_{n+1}}

is :

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

\frac{2 n-1}{2 n+1}

Option B (

\frac{2 n-1}{2 n+1}

) is correct because it represents the ratio of distances traveled in consecutive time intervals for an object starting from rest with constant acceleration.

Assertion: In a free fall, the initial velocity of a body may not be zero.
Reason: Free fall means the vertical acceleration of the body is equal to

\mathrm{g}

. A ball is thrown vertically upward with speed 15 m/s and it returns to the ground with speed 10 m/s as a constant air resistance acts. The maximum height attained by the ball is Which of the following is not a derived quantites? Assertion: If a body is dropped from the top of a tower of height

\mathrm{h}

and another body is thrown up simultaneously with velocity

\mathrm{u}

from the foot of the tower, then both of them would meet after a time

\frac{\mathrm{h}}{\mathrm{u}}

.
Reason: For a body projected upwards, the distance covered by the body in the last second of its upward journey is always

4.9 \mathrm{~m}

irrespective of velocity of projection.

(\mathrm{g}=9.8 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2)

A particle is having uniform acceleration. If its displacement from

t

(t+1)

second is

120 \mathrm{~m}

and change in velocity is

50 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}

. Find its displacement (in

\mathrm{m}

) in

(t+2)

second. An aeroplane flies 400m north and 300m south and then flies 1200m upwards, then net displacement is
