Only velocity uses direction of travel in its calculations.
Answer:
The found acceleration in terms of h and t is:

Explanation:
(The complete question is given in the attached picture. We need to find the acceleration in terms of h and t in this question)
We are given 3 stages of movement of elevator. We'll first model them each of the stage one by one to find the height covered in each stage. After that we'll find the total height covered by adding heights covered in each stage, and equate it to Total height h. From that we can find the formula for acceleration.
<h3>
</h3><h3>
Stage 1</h3>
Constant acceleration, starts from rest.
Distance = 
Velocity = 
<h3>Stage 2</h3>
Constant velocity where
Velocity = 
Distance =
<h3>

</h3><h3 /><h3>Stage 3</h3>
Constant deceleration where
Velocity = 
Distance =

<h3>Total Height</h3>
Total height = y₁ + y₂ + y₃
Total height = 
<h3 /><h3>Acceleration</h3>
Find acceleration by rearranging the found equation of total height.
Total Height = h
h = 5a(t₁)²

There's not enough information to find an answer.
I think the idea here is that in descending (416 - 278) = 138 meters,
the glider gives up some gravitational potential energy, which
becomes kinetic energy at the lower altitude. This is all well and
good, but we can't calculate the difference in potential energy
without knowing the mass of the glider.
Answer:

Explanation:
Distance travelled = 200 metre
Time taken = 24 second
Velocity = ?
