    A coin is dropped in a lift. It takes time\[{{t}_{1}}\]to reach the floor when lift is stationary. It late             times \[{{t}_{2}}\] when life is moving up with constant acceleration. Then:

    A) \[{{t}_{1}}>{{t}_{2}}\]                    

    B) \[{{t}_{2}}>{{t}_{1}}\]

    C) \[{{t}_{1}}={{t}_{2}}\]                    

    D) \[{{t}_{1}}>>{{t}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Time taken by coin to reach the floor is given by \[h=\frac{1}{2}g{{t}^{2}}\]                           \[(\because u=0)\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}\] In stationary lift, \[{{t}_{1}}=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}\] In upward moving lift with constant acceleration a, \[g'=g+a\] \[\therefore \]  \[{{t}_{2}}=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g+a}}\] Clearly,                 \[g'>g\] Thus,                     \[{{t}_{2}}<{{t}_{1}}\]
