Question

An elevator ascends at a constant speed of 4 m/s, how much time is required for the elevator in order to travel 120 m upwards?

Answer 1

We simply use the formula,

`velocity =(distance)/(time)`

Given, velocity = 4 m per s and distance = 120 m.

Substituting these values, we get

`4\ m/s =(120\ m)/(time)\\\\\ time=(120\ m)/(4\ m/s) = 30\ s`.

Thus, required time for the elevator in order to travel 120 m upwards is 30 s.
