1. Two bodies of different masses ma and mb are dropped 1. ma mb
from two different heights a and b respectively. The ratio a b
of times taken by the two to drop through these distance is
ma b ma b
(1) a : b (2) : (1) a : b (2) :
mb a mb a

(3) a: b (4) a2 : b2 (3) a: b (4) a2 : b2

2. A body is released from the top of a tower. The body covers 2.
a distance of 15 m in the last second of its motion. The 15 m
height of tower is -

(3) 45 m (4) 30 m (3) 45 m (4) 30 m
3. A stone released with zero velocity from the top of a tower 3.
reaches the ground in 5s. The height of the tower is about. 5s
(1) 20 m (2) 40 m (1) 20 m (2) 40 m
(3) 125 m (4) 160 m (3) 125 m (4) 160 m

4. A stone is dropped from a height of 125 m. If g = 10 ms , 4. 125 m g = 10
–2
what is the ratio of the distances travelled by it during the ms
first and the last second of the motion ?
(1) 1 : 9 (2) 2 : 9 (1) 1 : 9 (2) 2 : 9
(3) 1 : 3 (4) 4 : 9 (3) 1 : 3 (4) 4 : 9
5. A body is dropped from a tower of height 20 m. Find 5. 20 m.

(1) 20 m/s (2) 25 m/s (1) 20 m/s (2) 25 m/s
(3) 10 m/s (4) 15 m/s (3) 10 m/s (4) 15 m/s
6. The water drop falls at regular intervals from a tap 9 m 6. 9m
above the ground. The fourth drop is leaving the tap at the
instant the first drop touches the ground. How high is that
third drop at that instant -
(1) 8 m (2) 6 m (1) 8 m (2) 6 m
(3) 7.5 m (4) 4.98 m (3) 7.5 m (4) 4.98 m
