1.
A body falling freely under the action of gravity passes
two points 10 m apart, vertically in 0.2 seconds. From
what height above the higher point did it start to fall?
(i.e., find x)
Hint:
Problem can be solved easily by taking A as the
reference point and downward direction as positive.
Then, x, v, and g will be positive for the falling body.
