When a lift is moving upward with a uniform velocity, the apparent weight of a body inside the lift will be:
Correct answer: A. Equal to its actual weight
- A. Equal to its actual weight
- B. Less than the actual weight
- C. More than the actual weight
- D. Zero
Explanation
When a lift is moving upward with a uniform velocity, the apparent weight of a body inside the lift is equal to its actual weight. This is because the forces acting on the body, including gravity and the lift's acceleration, are balanced, resulting in no net force affecting the body's weight.
