A body freely falling from the rest has a velocity ‘ v ’ after it falls through a height ‘ h ’. The distance it has to fall down for its velocity to become double, is
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
Let at point A initial velocity of body is equal to zero
\(u = \begin{array}{c|c|c} & \uparrow & \uparrow \\ A & \frac{1}{2} & x \\ B & v & \\ C & 2v & \downarrow \end{array}\)
for path AB : v^2 = 0 + 2gh …(i)
for path AC : (2v)^2 = 0 + 2gx
4v^{2} = 2gx … (ii)
Solving (i) and (ii) x = 4h
