A small block slides down on a smooth inclined plane, starting from rest at time t=0. Let Sn be the distance travelled by the block in the interval t=n-1 to t=n. Then, the ratio snsn+1 is:
  1. 2n-12n
  2. 2n+12n-1
  3. 2n-12n+1
  4. 2n2n-1

Solution

As we know that the displacement covered by particle in nthsecond is given by,

Snth=u+2n-12a

but u=0

sn=2n-12a   1

sn+1=2(n+1)-12a   (2)

Now,
equation (1) divide by equation (2)

snsn+1=2n-12n+1
