A coin is dropped in a lift. It takes time \(t_1\) to reach the floor when the lift is stationary. It takes time \(t_2\) when the lift is moving up with constant acceleration. Then:
1. \(t_1 > t_2\)
2. \(t_1 < t_2\)
3. \(t_1 = t_2\)
4. \(t_1 >> t_2\)

An object with a mass \(10\ \text{kg}\) moves at a constant velocity of \(10\ \text{m/s}\). A constant force then acts for \(4\) seconds on the object and gives it a speed of \(2\ \text{m/s}\) in the opposite direction. The acceleration produced in it is:
1. \(3\ \text{m/s}^2\)
2. \(-3\ \text{m/s}^2\)
3. \(0.3\ \text{m/s}^2\)
4. \(-0.3\ \text{m/s}^2\)
