Question
A ball dropped from a point $A$ falls vertically to $C$, through the midpoint $B$. The descending time from $A$ to $B$ and that from $A$ to $C$ are in the ratio:(a) $1: 1$(b) $1: 2$(c) $1: 3$(d) $1: \sqrt{2}$

A ball is thrown up with a certain velocity so that is reaches a height $h$. Find the ratio of the times in which it is at $h / 3$. (a) $\frac{\sqrt{2}-1}{\sqrt{2}+1}$ (b) $\frac{\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{2}}$ (c) $\frac{\sqrt{3}-1}{\sqrt{3}+1}$ (d) $\frac{1}{3}$
The ratio of distances traversed in successive intervals of time when a body falls freely under gravity from certain height is: (a) $1: 2: 3$ (b) $1: 5: 9$ (c) $1: 3: 5$ (d) $\sqrt{1}: \sqrt{2}: \sqrt{3}$
KINEMATICS
Motion in a Straight Line
A ball is dropped vertically from a height $d$ above the ground. It hits the ground and bounces up vertically to a height $d / 2 .$ Neglecting subsequent motion and air resistance, its velocity $v$ varies with the height $h$ above the ground as (A) (B) (C) (D)
