$A$ block of mass $m$ is kept in an elevator which starts moving downward with an acceleration $a$ as shown in the figure. The block is observed by two observers $A$ and $B$ for a time interval $t_0$. According to observer $B$,the net work done on the block is

  • A
    $-\frac{1}{2}m{a^2}t_0^2$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{2}m{a^2}t_0^2$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{2}mgat_0^2$
  • D
    $-\frac{1}{2}mgat_0^2$
