Are lift and elevator terms of the same object?
true
What is the British word lift mean?
The British word 'lift' means the same as the American elevator
If a boy tossing in an elevator and the elevator disconnectsso will the coin moves downward fastly or remain same?
Anyone, boy or coin, inside the lift (elevator USA) would, should the lift malfunction and rapidly fall, fall at the same rate as the descending lift. Hopefully, the automatic braking system on lifts would bring the lift to a halt before it hits the ground!
What is the word british mean?
The British word 'lift' means the same as the American elevator
What lifts up object faster a big pulley or a small pulley?
both lift same speed both lift same speed
What is the relationship between the effort and the weight of an object being lifted over a simple pulley?
the effort needed to lift an object is about the same as the weight of an object:)
Is capacity the same as amount why or why not?
Amount can be a value in money terms, or the mass of an object. Neither is a capacity.Amount can be a value in money terms, or the mass of an object.

What the apparent weight if the lift moves downward with constant speed?
If you are in a lift (elevator) moving at constant speed, whether up or down, and you have no visual contact with the outside, then you don't know that the lift is moving, and no physical experiment can detect the motion. Your apparent weight is the same as when you're at 'rest'.
Is the elevator today the same elevator that Elisha Graves Otis invented?
The elevator of today is not the same elevator Otis invented although it has many of the same features and works on the same principles. He worked out the counterweight, the pulleys, and the safety brake, or the basic units. It has all been upgraded.
What would have greater power an elevator or stairs lifting a box to tenth floor?
An elevator would have greater power in lifting a box to the tenth floor. Elevators are specifically designed for vertical transportation and have mechanisms like motors and pulleys that can easily lift heavy loads. Stairs, on the other hand, rely on human effort and do not have the same mechanical advantage, making it more difficult and less powerful to lift a box to a higher level.
Do objects in Earth's orbit appear to be weightless because they are in free fall?
Yes, exactly. A useful way to think of an object in orbit is that it is falling towards Earth much like anything else but, because of its velocity and distance from earth, it keeps missing the ground. This seems slightly contradictory -- a weightless object under the pull of gravity -- but it isn't, really. Suppose you're in an elevator that's had its cables cut. (Heaven, forefend!). Gravity accelerates you and the elevator Earthward at exactly the same rate, so you feel like you're floating relative to the elevator, but you and the elevator are just falling at the same rate.
What is the Principle of working of lifts?
A lift, or an elevator, is run by the suspension of a boxed shaped enclosure on cables. To make the elevator go up, the cables are pulled from below through the use of a pulley system. The same is for going down except there are a series of brakes applied to make sure the cable does not fall.
