a) 12.5 m

Explanation:

During the acceleration phase, the distance travelled by the elevator is given by:

v^2 - u^2 = 2ad

where

v = 5 m/s is the final speed of the elevator

u = 0 is the initial speed

a = 1.0 m/s^2 is the acceleration

d is the distance travelled

Using the equation, we can find d:

$d=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}=\frac{(5 m/s)^2-0}{2(1.0 m/s^2)}=12.5 m$

b) 45 s

Explanation:

The distance covered during the acceleration phase is 12.5 m. The distance covered during the de-celeration phase, at the end of the trip, is exactly the same (because the values of u, v and a are the same). The total distance is 200 m, so the distance covered at a constant speed of 5 m/s is

d'=200 m- 12.5 m -12.5 m=175 m

This distance is covered at a speed of v=5 m/s, so the time taken is

$t'=\frac{d'}{v}=\frac{175 m}{5 m/s}=35 s$

The time the elevator takes to cover the 12.5 m in the acceleration phase is

$t''=\frac{v-u}{a}=\frac{5 m/s-0}{1 m/s^2}=5 s$

and the same for the deceleration phase; therefore, the total time for the trip is

t=t'+t''+t''=35 s+5 s+5s =45 s

Answer from: cmflores3245

The distance of the elevator at the start while accelerating to full speed from rest = 12.5 m

the complete trip from bottom to top takes time: 45 s

Further explanation

Regular straight motion is the motion of objects on a straight track that have a fixed speed

Formula used

$\large{\boxed{\bold{S\:=\:v\:\times\:t}}}$

S = distance = m

v = speed = m / s

t = time = seconds

Straight motion changes regularly is the straight motion of objects that have a fixed acceleration

Formula used

$\large{\boxed{\bold{St\:=\:vot\:+\frac{1}{2}at^2}}}$

V = vo + at

Vt² = vo² + 2as

St = distance on t

vo = initial speed

vt = speed on t

a = acceleration

In the motion of the elevator occurs two movements, namely straight regular motion and straight motion change regularly

Regular straight motion occurs when the elevator is running at a steady speed and regular motion changes regularly when the elevator starts moving and when it wants to stop

Known

a = acceleration = deceleration = 1 m/s²

So the distance of the elevator at the start and want to stop is the same

conditions will move

Vt² = vo² + 2as

Vo = 0 = silent condition

Vt = 5 m / s

a = 1

5² = 0 + 2as

25 = 2as

25 = 2.1.s

s = 25 : 2
