In a large hotel, a fast elevator takes you from the ground floor to the 21st floor. The elevator takes 17 s for this trip: 5 s at constant acceleration, 7 s at constant velocity, and 5 s at constant deceleration. Each floor in the hotel has a height of 2.5 m. Calculate the values of the acceleration and deceleration (assume they are equal). Calculate the maximum speed of the elevator.
