The elevator starts going upwards with a constant acceleration a. The motion of the object is observed from the elevator during the period it maintains this acceleration. (R) The kinetic energy of the object keeps on decreasing
(D) The object is projected from the earth's surface vertically upwards with a speed $2\sqrt {GMe/{\mathop{\rm Re}\nolimits} } $, where, M$_e$ is the mass of the earth and R$_e$ is the radius of the earth. Neglect forces from objects other than the earth. (S) The object can change its direction only once.
