7. An elevator descends into a mine shaft at the rate of 6m/min. If the descent starts(a) a÷0 is not defined from 10m above the ground level, how long will it take to reach −350m.
Q. 7. An elevator descends into a mine shaft at the rate of 6m/min. If the descent starts(a) a÷0 is not defined from 10m above the ground level, how long will it take to reach −350m.
Calculate total distance: Calculate the total distance the elevator needs to descend.Starting from 10m above ground level to −350m is a total distance of 10m−(−350m).
Perform subtraction: Perform the subtraction to find the total distance.Total distance = 10m+350m=360m.
Determine descent time: Determine the time it takes to descend 360m at a rate of 6m/min.Time = Total distance / Rate of descent.
Perform division: Perform the division to find the time.Time = 360m/6m/min=60 minutes.
