Answer 2

16/3 feet/second

Explanation:

The elevator starts 120 feet below ground level and after 15 seconds the elevalor is at 40 feet below ground level.

The distance travelled in 15 seconds = 120-40=80 feet.

So, the change in elevation is 15 seconds is 80 feet.

As the rate of change of elevation is the chanve of elevation in unit time

`=\frac{\text{Change in elevation}}{\text{Time taken}}`

`=(80)/(15)`

=16/3 feet/second

=5.33 feet/ second
