A ball falls vertically after being dropped. It falls 20 metres in a time of 2 seconds. If 'd' is the distance in meters and t (in seconds) is the time taken where d is directly proportional to the square of t, how much time the ball will take to fall 605 m?

Solution

The correct option is B
11

Given distance s is directly proportional to square of time t.

That is:
$s = k . t^{2} 20 = 4 k k = 5 So, s = 5 t^{2} 605 = 5 t^{2}$

t = 11 seconds
