Homework Statement
A certain elevator cab has a total run of 197 m and a maximum speed is 307 m/min, and it accelerates from rest and then back to rest at 1.21 m/s2. (a) How far does the cab move while accelerating to full speed from rest? (b) How long does it take to make the nonstop 197 m run, starting and ending at rest?
Homework Equations
i thought you could use v=vo + at
and v= d/t
The Attempt at a Solution
what i did was first convert 307 m/min to 5.12 m/s
then i said 5.12 = 0 + 1.21 (t)
then t= 4.23 seconds
so then i said v= d/t
and 5.12= d/4.23, so d= 21.66 m
then i did part b and said 5.12= 197 m/t and t= 38.48 s
both of my answers were wrong
please help?
