\rm{\gray{\underline{\underline{\blue{GIVEN:-}}}}}

  • A ball is dropped from a height = H

  • The total distance covered in last second of its motion is equal to the distance covered in first 3 second .


\rm{\gray{\underline{\underline{\blue{TO\:FIND:-}}}}}

  • The height of the journey .


\rm{\gray{\underline{\underline{\blue{SOLUTION:-}}}}}

We have know that,


\green\bigstar\:\rm{\gray{\overbrace{\underbrace{\red{S\:=\:ut\:+\:(1)/(2)\:at^2\:}}}}}

Where,

  • S = Distance .

  • u = initial velocity = 0m/s

  • t = time = 3s

  • a = acceleration

[Note :- Here, acceleration is ‛acceleration due to gravity’ .]

  • a = 10m/s^2

=> S = 1/2 × 10 × (3)^2

=> S = 5 × 9

=> S = 45m -----(1)

✒ If the ball takes n’ second to fall the ground, then distance covered in nth second is,


\green\bigstar\:\rm{\gray{\overbrace{\underbrace{\red{S_n\:=\:u\:+\:(g)/(2)\:(2n\:-\:1)\:}}}}}

=> Sn = 0 + 10/2 (2 × n - 1)

=> Sn = 5 (2n - 1)

=> Sn = 10n - 5 -----(2)

Therefore,

  • 10n - 5 = 45

=> 10n = 45 + 5

=> n = 50/10

=> n = 5

Now put the value of ‛n = 5’ in equation(2), we get

=> Sn = 10 × 5 - 5

=> Sn = 50 - 5

=> Sn = 45m


\rm{\pink{\therefore}} The height of the journey is “ 45m ” .
