MCQ
A stone is released from an elevator going up with an acceleration a. The acceleration of the stone after the release is:
  • A
    a upward.
  • B
    (g - a) upward.
  • C
    (g - a) downward.
  • D
    g downward.

Answer

  1. 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.
