  • A
    $m g$
  • B
    $m a$
  • C
    $m g - m a$
  • D

$A$ vehicle is moving with a constant speed of $10 \ m/s$ on a circular horizontal track of radius $20 \ m$. $A$ bob is suspended from the roof of the vehicle by a massless string. The angle made by the string with the vertical will be (acceleration due to gravity,$g = 10 \ m/s^2$).

An elevator car,whose floor-to-ceiling distance is $2.7 \, m$,starts ascending with a constant acceleration of $1.2 \, m/s^2$. $2 \, s$ after the start,a bolt begins falling from the ceiling of the car. The free-fall time of the bolt is ......... $s$.

The weight of a man in a stationary lift is $w_1$ and when it is moving downwards with uniform acceleration $a$ is $w_2$. If the ratio $w_1 : w_2 = 4 : 3$,then the value of $a$ is ($g =$ acceleration due to gravity).

$A$ person in an elevator accelerating upwards with an acceleration of $2\,ms^{-2}$,tosses a coin vertically upwards with a speed of $20\,ms^{-1}$. After how much time will the coin fall back into his hand? (Take $g = 10\,ms^{-2}$)

$A$ very broad elevator is going up vertically with a constant acceleration of $2\,m/s^2$. At the instant when its velocity is $4\,m/s$,a ball is projected from the floor of the lift with a speed of $4\,m/s$ relative to the floor at an elevation of $30^{\circ}$. The time taken by the ball to return to the floor is $..............\,s$ $(g=10\,m/s^2)$.
