A man in a lift ascending with an upward...

A man in a lift ascending with an upward acceleration `a` throws a ball vertically upwards with a velocity `v` with respect to himself and catches it after `t_1` seconds. After wards when the lift is descending with the same acceleration `a` acting downwards the man again throws the ball vertically upwards with the same velocity with respect to him and catches it after `t_2` seconds?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
2

Taking upward direction as positive, let us workin the frome of lift. Acceleration of ball relative to lift `=(g+a)` downwards, so `a_(real) =- (g+a)`, initial velocity: `u_(rel) =v`, final velcity : `v_(rel) =v`, as the ball will reach the man with same speed w.r.t. lift Apply `v_(rel) =u_(rel)+ a_(rel)t rArr - v+ (g-a)t rArr t =2 s` .
