Oh ok, so I guess I’ve been over complicating this whole problem, you feel lighter as a lift accelerates downwards, thus you feel less acceleration..
So for this situation g-a = 9.8-5 = 4.8
Then I’d use
x=ut+1/2at^2
1.3=1/2 * 2.8 *t^2
1.3=1.4t^2
1.3/1.4=t^2
sqrt(1.3/1.4)=t
Would...
Oh fair enough, it's not really homework though, it's a question I found while reading up on referrence frams, but it gave no answer, as a student studying phyics it seemed quite interesting and I just want to find out how it all works, problem is I'm not entirely sure where to start, if they...
Hi, my question is this, say you’re in a lift that is accelerating downwards at 5ms and you were to drop a 200g wallet from say 1.3m off the floor of the lift, assuming gravity is 9.8ms, how long would it take the wallet to hit the floor of the lift?
Does the downwards acceleration of the...
