If a body travels half its total path in the last 1.10 s of its fall from rest, find the total time of its fall (in seconds).

3.75 s

Explanation:

Given Body travels half of its motion in last 1.1 sec

Let h be the height and t be the total time taken

here initial velocity is zero

Now half of the distance traveled will be in t-1.1 s and half distance traveled is in last 1.1 s

from 1 & 2 we get

Therefore two value of t is satisfying the equation  but only one value is possible

therefore t=3.75 s

i just did an experiment like this in my science class. also the answer is yes, it will get separated because they are two opposites meaning if they are opposite they can not attract.

hope this .!
