An elevator in a high rise building accelerates and decelerates at the rate of 1 foot per second squared. Its maximum speed is 8 feet per second. It starts from rest, accelerates to its maximum speed and stays at that maximum speed until it approaches its destination where it decelerates to rest.
How far does the elevator travel if it accelerates from rest until it reaches its maximum speed?
How far has the elevator traveled after starting from rest and traveling for 10 seconds without decelerating?
