A certain elevator cab in a New York hotel has a total run of 172 m. Its maximum speed is 285 m/min. Its acceleration (both speeding up and slowing down) has a magnitude of 1.28 m/s2.

(a) How far does the cab move (meters) while accelerating to full speed from rest?

(b) How long does it take (seconds) to make the nonstop 172 m run, starting and ending at rest?
