NEET Physics Distance & Displacement MCQ Question
An object starts from rest and falls freely under gravity. If the distance traversed in the first time interval is , what is the distance traversed in the next equal time interval ?
15 m
10 m
20 m
25 m
Correct Answer
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.
