When a person is in a lift accelerated upwards or downwards, do force of gravity and normal reaction on the person form action and reaction pair?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine whether the force of gravity and the normal reaction on a person in an accelerating lift form an action-reaction pair, we can analyze the forces involved. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Forces Acting on the Person**: - When a person is in a lift, two main forces act on them: - The force of gravity (weight) acting downwards, which is given by \( F_g = mg \), where \( m \) is the mass of the person and \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity. - The normal reaction force \( N \) exerted by the floor of the lift acting upwards. ...

STATEMENT -1 : Action and reaction acting on a particle cancels each other . STATEMENT -2 : Action and reaction pair acts on different particles . STATEMENT -3 : If an object is placed on a table then normal reaction by the table and weight are action reaction pair and they cancel each other .

Assertion :- A block is hanged from spring. Spring force on block gravitational force on block are not action and reaction pair. Reason :- Action and reaction force acts in opposite direction.

When a person walks on a rough surface, the frictional force exerted by surface on the person is opposite to the direction of his motion. It is the force exerted by the road on the person that causes the motion.

A hot- air balloon consists of a basket, one passenger, and some carge. Let the total mass be M. Even though there is an upward lift force on the balloon, the balloon is initially acceleration downwards at a rate of g//3 . (a) Draw a free-body diagram for the descending balloon. (b) Find the upward lift force in terms of the initial total weight Mg. (c ) The passenger notices that he is heading straight for a waterfall and decides he needs to go up. What fraction of the total weight must he drop overboard so that the balloon accelerates upward at a rate of g//2 ? Assume that the upward lift force remains the same.
