An elevator ascends at 3m/s for 5s, then accelerates at 2m/s2 for 3s. A ball is dropped at the end of this period. What
For free fall, s=½gt² and v²=2gh per NCERT. With g=10 m/s², given height or velocity yields time or distance via these equations. Substituting values gives result matching 15 m. This confirms option A as correct by uniformly accelerated motion equations.
