Two elevators A and B which operates adjacent to each other, are approaching each  other from an initial position which are 120 m. apart. Elevator A has downward  acceleration of 0.5 m/s2 and elevator B is accelerating upward at 1 m/s2. Assume both  elevators start at rest. When they will pass each other if elevator B starts 1 sec. after elevator A starts moving down? Determine the distance traveled by elevator A from its original position until they pass each other. c. Determine the velocity of elevator B at the instant they pass each other
