MCQ
A stone is released from an elevator going up with an acceleration a. The acceleration of the stone after the release is:
- Aa upward.
- B(g - a) upward.
- C(g - a) downward.
- Dg downward.
✓
Answer
- g downward
Explanation:
Gravity is the only force acting on the stone when it is released. And, we know that gravity is always in the downward direction.
