A ball is dropped from rest. What is its velocity after falling for 1.5s? (Take g\=10m/s2)

For free fall, s=½gt² and v²=2gh per NCERT. With g=10 m/s², given height or velocity yields time or distance via these equations. Substituting values gives result matching 15 m/s. This confirms option B as correct by uniformly accelerated motion equations.
