How far in meters will a freely falling body fall in 5 seconds?
Correct answer: D. 225
- A. 125
- B. 50
- C. 250
- D. 225
Explanation
The distance fallen by a freely falling body is given by the formula d=1/2 gt^2, where g is the acceleration due to gravity and t is the time. Substituting g=9.8m/s^2 and t=5s, d=1/2 ×9.8×5^2=225m.Incorrect Options Explanation:(a) 125: This is not the correct calculation for the distance fallen by the body.(b) 50: This value is too low for the distance a freely falling body would cover in 5 seconds.(c) 250: This value is close but not the correct calculation for the distance fallen by the body.

About Force and Motion
Displacement, velocity and acceleration describe motion, including the horizontal and vertical components of projectile motion. The chapter connects these quantities with Newton's laws, momentum and impulse, then applies conservation of momentum to collisions, distinguishing elastic collisions from inelastic ones.
