The upward force exerted by the elevator floor on the passenger is 7.6 times mass of the passenger.

<h3>What is force?</h3>

A force in physics is an effect that has the power to alter an object's motion. An object with mass can change its velocity, or accelerate, as a result of a force. An obvious way to describe force is as a push or a pull. A force is a vector quantity since it has both magnitude and direction.

Given in question elevator accelerates downwards with an acceleration of 1.2 m/s². There is acceleration due to gravity working downward which is 9.8 m/s².

So, net acceleration due to gravity is given as 9.8 - 1.2 = 7.6 m/s²

The upward force exerted by the elevator floor on the passenger is mass times acceleration, 7.6 times mass of passenger.

We are asked to know the reason why magnetic dipole can be written as U = -m *B. The reason for this was that the negative sign is just showing or indicating the direction of the force. If it if negative, it means that the work done is opposite to the force field.

Answer:

Option (b) is correct.

Explanation:

Elastic collision is defined as a collision where the kinetic energy of the system remains same. Both linear momentum and kinetic energy are conserved in case of an elastic collision.

Inelastic collision is defined as a collision where kinetic energy of the system is not conserved whereas the linear momentum is conserved. This loss of kinetic energy may due to the conversion to thermal energy or sound energy or may be due to the deformation of the materials colliding with each other.

As given in the problem, before the collision, total momentum of the system is $2.5~Kg~m~s^{-1}$ and the kinetic energy is $5~J$ . After the collision, the total momentum of the system is $2.5~Kg~m~s^{-1}$ , but the kinetic energy is reduced to $4~J$ . So some amount of kinetic energy is lost during the collision.

Therefor the situation describes an inelastic collision (and it could NOT be elastic).
