Answer the questions below.Note that a change can be an increase or a decrease.For an increase, use a positive number.For a decrease, use a negative number.(a)A tram moved upward meters per second for seconds. What was the total change in the tram's elevation?(b)In a lab, a substance was cooled by over a period of hours at a constant rate. What was the change in temperature each hour?

Question

GPT-4o mini · Answer

To calculate the total change in elevation or temperature, we need the values that you mentioned (the speed of the tram, the time it traveled, the initial temperature, and the total cooling in the lab).

(a) If a tram moved upward at a speed of x meters per second for y seconds, the total change in the tram's elevation can be calculated using the formula:

\[ \text{Total Change} = \text{Speed} \times \text{Time} = x \times y \]

So, if you provide the values for x and y, I can give you the total change in elevation.

(b) If a substance was cooled by z degrees over a period of w hours, the change in temperature each hour can be calculated as:

\[ \text{Change in Temperature per Hour} = \frac{\text{Total Change}}{\text{Time}} = \frac{z}{w} \]

Again, I would need the values of z and w to provide the change in temperature each hour.

Please provide the missing values so I can help you with the calculations!
