A ball is dropped from a tower of height h. It takes T seconds to reach the ground. Where is the ball at time T/2?
AAt h/2 from the top
BAt h/4 from the top
CAt h/4 from the ground
DAt 3h/4 from the ground
✓ Correct Answer: B — At h/4 from the top
Distance d ∝ t^2. At half time, d = (1/2)^2 = 1/4 of total height from the top.
