Question

The distances moved by a freely falling body (starting from rest) during $1st,2nd,3rd,...,nth$ second of its motion are proportional to

• A. Even numbers
• B. Odd numbers
• C. All integral numbers
• D. Squares of integral numbers

Answer 1

The correct option is D Squares of integral numbers

s=$\frac{1}{2}g{t}^2$

s is directly proportional to $t^2$

So the distances are in the ratio of squares of integral numbers
