Q.
In a lift moving up with an acceleration of 5ms−2 a ball is dropped from a height of 1.25m .The time taken by ball to reach the floor of the lift is........(nearly)(g=10ms−2)
Distance travelled by ball during fall =1.25m
By using relation s=ut+21at2
Here, u=0,s=1.25m a=(g+a)=(10+5)=15m/s2 ⇒1.25=21×15×t2, ⇒t2=152×1.25 t2=0.16 ⇒t=0.4s
