A lift is moving down with acceleration ...

A lift is moving down with acceleration a. A man in the lift drops a ball inside the lift. The acceleration of the ball as observed by the man in the lift and a man standing stationary on the around are respectively :

A

g,g

B

g-a,g-a

C

g-a,a

D

a,g

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
c

As the lift is descending with an acceleration .d., the acceleration of the ball for the man in the lift will be `(g-a)` and for the stationary man on the ground the acceleration will be g.. Hence choice is (c).
