If the height of the coin from which it is dropped is h then in stationery state of the lift we have h =(1/2)g t1^2 Or. t1=(2h/g)^(0.5)…………. (1) In the second case if the acceleration of the lift is a then acceleration of the coin for the observer in the inertial frame (effective...

If the height of the coin from which it is dropped is h then in stationery state of the lift we have h =(1/2)g t1^2 Or. t1=(2h/g)^(0.5)…………. (1) In the second case if the acceleration of the lift is a then acceleration of the coin for the observer in the inertial frame (effective acceleration ) is =acceleration due to gravity (g) - acceleration of the lift wrt the inertial frame( - a) =(g+a) Here the directions of g and a are opposite to each other and they have directions downward and upward respectively. In this case the height h would be covered with acceleration (g+a).Thus h=(1/2)(g+a)( t2)^2 Or t2=(2h/(g+a))^(0.5)……………. (2) From relations (1) and (2) we have t1/t2=[(g+a)/g]^(0.5) read less

A railway carriage of mass 9000 kg moving with a speed of 36 kmph collides with stationary carriage of the same mass. After the collision, the carriages get coupled and moved together. What is their common speed after collision? What type of collision is this?
The objects move together after the collision and have a common velocity. So it's a perfectly inelastic collision. To find the velocity we use Law of conservation of linear momentum. Given velocity v1=...
