A stone is dropped from a certain height which can reach the ground in 5 second . If the stone is stopped after 3 second of its fall and then allowed to fall again, then the time taken by the stone to reach the ground for the remaining distance is
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Total distance \(-\frac{1}{2}gt^{2} - \frac{25}{2}g\)
Distance moved in 3 sec \(-\frac{9}{2}g\)
Remaining distance \(-\frac{16}{2}g\)
If t is the time taken by the stone to reach the ground for the remaining distance then
\(\Rightarrow \frac{16}{2} g - \frac{1}{2} g t^{2} = t - 4 \pi\)
