A small block slides without friction down an inclined plane starting from rest. Let Sn be the distance travelled from time t = n – 1 to t = n. Then Sn/Sn+1 is :
2n-1/2n
2n+1/2n-1
2n-1/2n+1
2n/2n+1

Solution:

Sn = u + a/2(2n-1) = a/2(2n-1)

Sn+1 = u + a/2(2(n+1)-1) = a/2(2n+1)

Sn / Sn+1 = (2n-1)/(2n+1)
