a) 5 m/sec
b) 10 m/sec
c) 15 m/sec
d) 20 m/sec

Answer: d
Explanation:
q164

5. Time taken by an object falling from rest to cover the height of \[h_{1}\] and \[h_{2}\] is respectively \[t_{1}\] and \[t_{2}\] then the ratio of \[t_{1}\] to \[t_{2}\] is
a) \[h_{1}:h_{2}\]
b) \[\sqrt{h_{1}}:\sqrt{h_{2}}\]
c) \[h_{1}:2h_{2}\]
d) \[2h_{1}:h_{2}\]

Answer: b
Explanation:
q165

a) 1.2 sec
b) 5 sec
c) 10 sec
d) 25 sec

Answer: b
