To decide: Whether the given statement is true or false.
Answer to Problem 1RE
The given statement is
Explanation of Solution
Consider the give statement.
Let the initial velocity of an object be
Since the horizontal velocity of an object is
Note that, the displacement s in terms of time t is
Substitute
The distance travelled in previous second is obtained by replacing
Hence, distance travelled in the second before a given time is obtained as follows.
The distance travelled in after the second is obtained by replacing
Hence, distance travelled in the second after a given time is obtained as follows.
Calculate difference of the above distances.
Thus, the given statement is
