Question

The acceleration of a falling body is measured in elevator travelling at a constant speed of 9·8 m/s.what result is obtained

Answer 1

9.8m/sec^2. The effect is independent of the elevator moving, because it is moving at a constant speed. It will fall to the floor with an acceleration of g

Answer 2

Dear Student,

● Answer -

g = 9.8 m/s^2

◆ Explanation -

Acceleration of falling body varies with acceleration of the elevator.

But here the elevator is moving with constan1 speed, so it will have zero acceleration. Hence, The acceleration of a falling body measured in elevator will be unaffected. i.e. g = 9.8 m/s^2.

Thanks dear. Hope this helps you...
