An elevator desends into mine shaft at the rate of 10m/min. If the desends starts form 50m above then how much time it will take to reach -350m?
it has to drop 400 m. So,
400m / 10m/min = 40 min
Answer please .
To calculate the time it will take for the elevator to reach a depth of -350m, we need to use the formula:
time = distance / rate.
In this case, the distance is the difference between the starting position (50m above) and the desired depth (-350m), which is 400m (50m - (-350m) = 400m).
The given rate is 10m/min.
Now, let's substitute the values into the formula:
time = 400m / 10m/min.
Simplifying the equation, we have:
time = 40 min.
Therefore, it will take 40 minutes for the elevator to reach a depth of -350m.
