Given below are two statements:
Statement-$I$: An elevator can go up or down with uniform speed when its weight is balanced with the tension of its cable.
Statement-$II$: Force exerted by the floor of an elevator on the foot of a person standing on it is more than his/her weight when the elevator goes down with increasing speed.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  • A
    Both statement $I$ and statement $II$ are false
  • B
    Statement $I$ is true but Statement $II$ is false
  • C
    Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are true
  • D
    Statement $I$ is false but Statement $II$ is true

$A$ rocket is moving in a gravity-free space with a constant acceleration of $2 \ ms^{-2}$ along the $+x$ direction (see figure). The length of a chamber inside the rocket is $4 \ m$. $A$ ball is thrown from the left end of the chamber in the $+x$ direction with a speed of $0.3 \ ms^{-1}$ relative to the rocket. At the same time,another ball is thrown in the $-x$ direction with a speed of $0.2 \ ms^{-1}$ from its right end relative to the rocket. The time in seconds when the two balls hit each other is:

If a body of mass $m$ is carried by a lift moving with an upward acceleration $a$,then the forces acting on the body are:
$(i)$ The reaction $R$ on the floor of the lift acting upwards.
$(ii)$ The weight $mg$ of the body acting vertically downwards.
