Answer:

option (a) 0.61 s

Explanation:

Given;

Time taken by the ball to reach the ground  = 0.50 s

Let us first calculate the distance through which the ball falls on the ground

from the Newton's equation of motion, we have

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where,  

s is the distance

a is the acceleration

t is the time

here it is the case of free fall

thus, a = g = acceleration due to gravity

u =  initial speed of the ball = 0

on substituting the values, we get

s=0\times 0.50+\frac{1}{2}\times9.8\times0.50^2

or

s = 1.225 m

Now,

when the elevator is moving up with speed of 1.0 m/s

the initial speed of the ball = -1.0 m/s   (as the elevator is moving in upward direction)

thus , we have

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

or

1.225=-1.0\times\ t+\frac{1}{2}\times9.8t^2

or

4.9t^2 - t  - 1.225 = 0

or

t = 0.612 s

hence, the correct answer is option (a) 0.61 s

Please help!How is constant or uniform acceleration used to explain free fall?
garik1379 [7]
Free fall is a special case of motion with constant acceleration, because acceleration due to gravity is always constant and downward. For example, when a ball is thrown up in the air, the ball's velocity is initially upward.
