The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the situation step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Situation**: - We have an elevator moving upwards with an acceleration \( a \). - A stone is released from this elevator. 2. **Forces Acting on the Stone After Release**: - Once the stone is released, it is no longer influenced by the elevator's acceleration. - The only force acting on the stone after it is released is the force of gravity. 3. **Acceleration Due to Gravity**: - The acceleration due to gravity is denoted as \( g \), and it acts downwards. 4. **Determining the Acceleration of the Stone**: - Since the stone is only under the influence of gravity after it is released, its acceleration will be equal to \( g \) downwards. 5. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the acceleration of the stone after the release is \( g \) downwards. ### Final Answer: The acceleration of the stone after the release is \( g \) downwards. ---
