powershell browsing to a file path

In a powershell script, how do I use a common file path.
For ex:
$file_path=c:\users\documents
Under documents, I need to operate on 2 folders - "updates" and "archives"

In the script, how do I browse to updates, archives?
I tried $file_path\updates. But that didn't work.

Example, copying a file:
copy c:\users\documents\new_file.txt c:\users\documents\updates

Instead of the full path, I would like to use
copy $file_path\new_file.txt $file_path\updates\

param(
    [System.IO.DirectoryInfo]$filePath = "c:\users\documents",
    [string[]]$subFolders = @("updates", "archives")
)

Join-Path $filePath -ChildPath $subFolders[0]
Join-Path $filePath -ChildPath $subFolders[1]

[System.IO.Path]::Join($filePath, $subFolders[0])
[System.IO.Path]::Join($filePath, $subFolders[1])
