In the ruler-drop test, the distance fallen by the ruler tells us what?
AThe weight of the ruler
BThe person's reaction time
CThe length of the fingers
DAir pressure in the room
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. The person's reaction time
Since d = gt^2/2, a longer fall before catching means a longer reaction time.
