2. The main elevator of the CN tower in Toronto rises about 350 m and for most of its run has a constant speed of 22 kph. Assume that both the acceler- ation and deceleration have a constant magnitude of 0.25g-g standing for gravitational acceleration-then determine the duration of 1 elevator run. Set your own variables for each parameter as you see fit.

Calculate the energy required to lift an elevator and its occupants with amass of 2000 kg for the following situations: (a) between the first and thesecond floor, (b) between the third and the fourth floor, (c) between the firstand the fourth floor. (as shown .) The vertical distance between eachfloor is 4.5 m. We can use as shown to analyze this problem; the energy required to lift the elevator is equal to the change in its potential energy, starting with
