The velocity versus time graph for the motion of elevator from ground floor to top floor.
Answer to Problem 1CQ
The velocity versus time graph for the motion of elevator from ground floor to top floor is as follows.
Explanation of Solution
The elevator is initially at rest. It starts accelerating with constant acceleration from zero velocity to a certain constant velocity. Then it moves with this constant velocity for some time and finally it slows down with a constant deceleration until it stop at the top floor.
The velocity verses time graph of the elevator moving from ground floor to the top floor of a building is shown in the figure below.
