An $NCC$ parade is moving at a uniform speed of $9\,km/h$ under a mango tree on which a monkey is sitting at a height of $19.6\,m$. At a particular instant,the monkey drops a mango. $A$ cadet will receive the mango if their distance from the tree at the time of the drop is $...m$ (Given $g = 9.8\,m/s^2$)

Reaction time: When a situation demands our immediate action,it takes some time before we really respond. Reaction time is the time a person takes to observe,think,and act. For example,if a person is driving and suddenly a boy appears on the road,then the time elapsed before he slams the brakes of the car is the reaction time. Reaction time depends on the complexity of the situation and on an individual.
You can measure your reaction time by a simple experiment. Take a ruler and ask your friend to drop it vertically through the gap between your thumb and forefinger. After you catch it,find the distance $d$ travelled by the ruler. In a particular case,$d$ was found to be $21.0 \; cm$. Estimate the reaction time in seconds. (in $; s$)

Two bodies of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ are dropped from two different heights $h_1$ and $h_2$ respectively. The ratio of the times taken by the two masses to touch the ground is (neglect air resistance)

The ratio of times taken by a freely falling body to travel the first $5 \ m$, second $5 \ m$, and third $5 \ m$ distances is:

$A$ body falling from a vertical height of $10 \, m$ pierces through a distance of $1 \, m$ in sand. It faces an average retardation in sand equal to (where $g$ = acceleration due to gravity).
