Q10 · Physics

A small block slides down on a smooth inclined plane, starting from rest at time t = 0. Let SnS_n be the distance travelled by the block in the interval t = n − 1 to t = n. Then, the ratio SnSn+1\frac{S_n}{S_{n+1}} is :

  1. 12n+12n−1\frac{2n+1}{2n-1}
  2. 22n2n−1\frac{2n}{2n-1}
  3. 32n−12n\frac{2n-1}{2n}
  4. 42n−12n+1\frac{2n-1}{2n+1}Official answer
