(iv) An elevator descends into a mine shaft at the rate of 8 m/min. If the descent starts from 20 m above ground level, how long will it take to reach - 460​

Answer» 60 MINUTES or 1 hourStep-by-step explanation: level above GROUND = 20m                                             level below the ground = - 460mTherefore the total distance= (20-(-460)) m                                                = (460 + 20) m                                                   =480 m Speed = 8m/MIN.We know that time = distance/ speed                                 = (480/8) min                                    =60 min or 1 hour
