16.The ratio of distance travelled by a freely falling body 2nd s and 3rd s is
solution: For a freely falling body initial velocity (u)=0 for a body which travelled in nth second distance Sn=u+ a(n-1/2) for freely falling body acceleration(a)=g for 2nd second S2=g(2-1/2) =g(3/2) for 3rd second S3=g(3-1/2) =g(5/2) the ratio between is 3/2g:5/2g=3:5
