A ball (initially at rest) is released from the top of a tower. The ratio of work done by the force of gravity, in the first, second and third seconds is

  1. A \(1: 3: 5\)
  2. B \(1: 4: 16\)
  3. C \(1: 9: 25\)
  4. D \(1: 2: 3\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(1: 3: 5\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Work done by the force of gravity is directly proportional to the distance travel in \(n\)th second. \[ W \propto S_n \] \(\therefore\) Ratio of work done by the force is \(1: 3: 5\).
