Suppose you are in an elevator car when the elevator cable breaks. which of the following correctly describes what happens and why.

a. you float weightlessly within the elevator car because earth's gravity is no longer tugging on you.
b. you will remain stuck to the elevator floor as you and the elevator plunge downward toward a horrific crash.
c. you float weightlessly within the elevator car because you and the elevator both begin to accelerate downward at the same rate.
d. you will crash you head into the elevator car ceiling because earth's gravity will be pulling the car down faster than it pulls you down.
e. you will crash you head into the elevator car ceiling because the car will be falling rapidly away from you.

Aparticle of mass m is projected with an initial velocity v0 in a direction making an angle α with the horizontal level ground as shown in the figure. the motion of the particle occurs under a uniform gravitational field g pointing downward. (a) write down the lagrangian of the system by using the cartesian coordinates (x, y). (b) is there any cyclic coordinate(s). if so, interpret it (them) physically. (c) find the euler-lagrange equations. find at least one constant of motion. (d) solve the differential equation in part (c) and obtain x and y coordinates of the projectile as a function of time. (e) construct the hamiltonian of the system, h, and write down the hamilton’s equations (canonical equations) of motion.
