NEET Physics Distance & Displacement MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11

An object starts from rest and falls freely under gravity. If the distance traversed in the first time interval τ\tau is 5 m5 \text{ m}, what is the distance traversed in the next equal time interval τ\tau?

A

15 m

B

10 m

C

20 m

D

25 m

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

According to Galileo's law of odd numbers, the distances traversed during equal intervals of time are in the ratio 1:3:5:7. If the first distance is 5 m, the next should be 3 times 5 m, which is 15 m.
