Question

A lift is descending with a constant velocity 'v'. A man in the lift drops a coin. The coin experiences an acceleration towards the floor equal to:

• A. g + v
• B. g - v
• C. g
• D. Zero

Answer 1

The correct option is C

g

Since the lift is moving down with constant velocity, its acceleration is zero.So, the coin experiences only acceleration due to gravity, which is g.
