A person standing oin the floor of an elevator drops as coin. The coin reaches the floor of the elevator in a time `t_1` if the elevator is stationary and in the `t_2` if it is moving uniformly. Then

A

`t_1=t_2`

B

`t_1ltt_2`

C

`t_1gtt_2`

D

`t_1ltt_2 or t_1gtt_2` depending on whether the lift is going up or down.

The force exerted by the floor of an elevator on the foot of a person standing there is more than the weight of the person if the elevator is :

An elevator is descending with uniform acceleration.To measure the acceleration, a person in the elevator drops a coin at momen the elevator strts. The coin is 6 ft asbove the floor of the elevator at the time it is dropped. The person observes that the coin strikes the floor in 1 second. Calculate these dta the acceleration of the elevator.

A bolt of mass 0.3 kg falls from the ceiling of an elevator moving down with a uniform speed of 7ms^(-1) . If hits the floors of the elevator (length of the elevator 3m) and does not rebound. What is the heat produced by the impact?

Preeti reached the metro station and found that the escalator was not working . She walked up the stationary escalator in time t_1 . On other days , if she remains stationary on the moving escalator takes her up in time t_2 . The time taken by her to walk up on the moving escalator will be:

A coin is dropped in a lift . It takes time t_(1) second to reach the floor when lift is stationary . It takes t_(2) second when the lift is moving up with constant acceleration . Then ,

A person is standing on a weighing machine placed on the floor of an elevator. The elevator starts going up with some acceleration, moves with uniform velocity for a while and finally decelerates to stop. The maximum and the minimum weights recorded are 72 kg and 60 kg. Assuming that the magnitudes of the acceleration and the deceleration are the same., find a. the true weight of the person and b. the magnitude of the acceleration. Take g=9.9 m/s^2 .

A man is walking towards a vertical pillar in a straight path, at a uniform speed. At a certain point A on the path, he observes that the angle of elevation of the top of the pillar is 30^0 . After walking for 10 minutes from A in the same direction, at a point B, he observes that the angle of elevation of the top of the pillar is 60^0 . Then the time taken (in minutes) by him, from B to reach the pillar, is : (1) 6 (2) 10 (3) 20 (4) 5
