An object falls freely from a height, H. It is released at t = 0 and strikes the ground at t = T. Consider the time at which the object is at a height of H/2. Also consider the height at which the object is located at the time T/2. Which of the following is true?
1.When the object is at a height H/2, the time is less than T/2 and when the time is T/2, the object is at a height of less than H/2.
2.One cannot tell which of these choices may be true from the given information.
3.When the object is at a height of H/2, the time is equal to T/2.
4.When the object is at a height H/2, the time is greater than T/2 and when the time is T/2, the object is at a height of more than H/2.
