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,

$velocity =\frac{distance}{time}$

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

Substituting these values, we get

$4\ m/s =\frac{120\ m}{time}\\\\\ time=\frac{120\ m}{4\ m/s} = 30\ s$.

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