When a ruler falls vertically, 5 different persons catch it with different reaction times. (g = 9.8 m s⁻²)

A. Person A has reaction time of 0.20 s.

B. Person B has reaction time of 0.22 s.

C. Person C has reaction time of 0.18 s.

D. Person D has reaction time of 0.19 s.

E. Person E has reaction time of 0.21 s.

What is the correct order of the distance travelled by the ruler for each person?

B

C > D > A > B > E

C

B > E > A > D > C

D

C > D > A > E > B

Correct Answer

Detailed Explanation

There will be a large distance for large reaction time. Descending order of reaction time is tₑ > tᵦ > tₐ > tₒ > t꜀. Descending order of distance covered is Sₑ > Sᵦ > Sₐ > Sₒ > S꜀.
