Question

A person standing on the floor of an elevator drops a coin. The coin reaches the floor in time t₁ when the elevator is stationary and t₂ when it moves with uniform velocity. Then:

G1 Physics · Accepted Answer

Uniform velocity means the elevator frame is inertial and relative acceleration remains g, so fall time is unchanged: t₁=t₂. Option A.
