a. In a skyscraper, an elevator takes 55 s to descend from the top floor to ground level, a distance of 400 m. What is the average speed of the evelator for this trip?

b. The elevator is at rest at the beginning and at the end of the trip. If you wanted to program the elevator so that it completes the trip in the specified time with a minimum acceleration and a minimum deceleration, how would you have to accelerate and decelerate the elevator? What would be this minimum value of the acceleration and deceleration? What would be the maximum speed during the trip?
