If a body travels half its total path in the last 1.50 s of its fall from rest, find the total time of its fall (in seconds).

time to fall is 3.914 seconds

Explanation:

given data

half distance time = 1.50 s

to find out

find the total time of its fall

solution

we consider here s is total distance

so equation of motion for distance

s = ut + 0.5 × at²   1

here s is distance and u is initial speed that is 0 and a is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 and t is time

so for last 1.5 sec distance is 0.5 of its distance so equation will be

0.5 s = 0 + 0.5 × (9.8) × ( t - 1.5)²     1

and

velocity will be

v = u + at

so velocity v = 0+ 9.8(t-1.5)    2

so first we find time

0.5 × (9.8) × ( t - 1.5)² = 9.8(t-1.5)  + 0.5 ( 9.8)

solve and we get t

t = 3.37 s

so time to fall is 3.914 seconds

depends on what you mean by "group." for order, it would be coleoptera (beetles). for class, it would be insecta (insects). for phylum, it would be the arthropoda (animals with jointed exoskeletons).
