The distance through which a freely falling body drops is directly proportinal to the square of the time for which it drops. If a body falls through 640 m in 8 second, then find the distance that the body falls through in the next 2 second.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given is distance is proportional to the square of the time.
D∝T²
D=kT² ---------------('K' is the proportionality constant)
640 = k8²
k=10
Distance traveled in next 2 seconds-:
D=10×2²
D=400m
Therefor the body will travel a distance of 400 metres in next 2 seconds
