m
The elevator at the space needle starts from rest and accelerates relative to its position according to the
following equation a(s) = (-0.085s +3) until it reaches its maximum velocity of 9.05¹. It stays at
$2
s
the maximum velocity until deccelerating at the top. An engineering student takes a ball up the elevator
and releases it out the window at 41m.
