the distance traveled by a freely falling body in certain time is s. a force equal to the weight of a body acts horizontally on the body for sometime. the frictional force is equal to the half the weight of the body. the distance traveled by the body in that time is answer is s/2
Hi Candidate,
The free fall distance is s which is experiencing a force of F equal to the mass of without the body, any external force in a certain time.
Now as we have a frictional force of F/2, equals to half of the weight in the same certain time, so as Force is directly proportional to distance, hence the value of distance also get halved as the force gets halved.
Hope that you have got your answer. All The Best. Have a Good Day!!
