Explanation: Given that an elevator moving down passes its neighbor, an elevator moving up. Their speed relative to one another is 8 m/s. What is the velocity of each elevator relative to someone standing on the first floor? Assume that the elevators are traveling at the same speed, and that the upward direction is positive.

O Both elevators are moving at 8 m/s.

y Falling Objects

O One elevator is moving at 4 m/s; the other elevator is moving at -4 m/s.

O Both elevators are moving at 4 m/s.

tive Velocity

O One elevator is moving at 8 m/s; the other elevator is moving at -8 m/s.

Solution.

Since the upward direction is positive, the downward direction will be negative.

For their speed relative to one another to be 8 m/s, the individual velocity will be:

4 - ( - 4 ) = 8

Therefore, the correct answer is:

One elevator is moving at 4 m/s; the other elevator is moving at -4 m/s

Which is option B

Because the negative sign multiply by negative sign will give positive.

That is,

4 + 4 = 8

the box does not move because you need to use a force greater than 300 n. you are only using 50 n. it needs to at least be 301 n for the box to move because then it is an unbalanced force and it will move the way that the greater force is pushing it. if you use only 300 n it will be a balanced force and will not move because the force you are exerting on the   box is the same as its force.

hope this !

im sorry if i went too in depth, i am going to include a link to a video on khan academy that will explain this.   hope that you like the video and that it explains more in detail to you.

that is the link.

i think the answer is a, hope this : )
