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?

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.
