A bolt of mass 0.3 kg falls from the ceiling of an elevator moving down with an uniform speed of `7 m s^-1`. It hits the floor of the elevator (length of the elevator = 3 m) and does not- rebound. What is the heat produced by the impact? Would your answer be different if the elevator were stationary?

A man of mass 70 kg stands on a weighing scale in a lift which is moving (a) upwards with a uniform speed of 10 m s^1 (b) downwards with a uniform acceleration of 5 m s^2, upwards with a uniform acceleration of 5 m s-^1z. What would be the readings on the scale in each case? What would be the reading if the lift mechanism failed and it hurtled down freely under gravity?

A trolley of mass 200 kg moves with a uniform speed of 36 km/ h on a frictionless track.
