Your Ultimate Guide to JEE & NEET Question Solutions

A lift accelerated downward with acceleration $'a'$. A man in the lift throws a ball upward with acceleration ${a_0}({a_0} < a).$ Then acceleration of ball observed by observer, which is on earth, is

A

$(a + {a_0})$ upward

B

$(a - {a_0})$ upward

C

$(a + {a_0})$ downward

D

$(a - {a_0})$ downward

A lift accelerated downward with acceleration $'a'$. A man in the lift throws a ball upward with acceleration ${a_0}({a_0} < a).$ Then acceleration of ball observed by observer, which is on earth, is

The effective acceleration of ball observed by observer on earth = $(a -a_0)$

As ${a_0} < a,$ hence net acceleration is in downward direction.
