Starting from the first floor, a lift stops at floors 3, 4,3, 2, 3, and 4 before returning to the first floor. When two consecutive floors are the same, it means that the elevator stayed on the same floor on that segment of the trip. If the distance between the first and sixth floors is 17 m, what is the total distance, d (in m), travelled by the lift? Just enter the number below, correct to one decimal place, without the units. d = Type your answer.

A straight running track is 2400 m long. A runner starts from the start line of the track, runs to the end line, and immediately turns back to run back to the starting point. After running for a total of 30 minutes, the runner was able to complete one whole round trip and is now halfway through the track on his second trip towards the end line. What was the runner's average speed in m/s? Answer:
A motor car is moving with initial velocity in the x-direction at 30 m/s. After 30 s, the car applies its brakes steadily to slow down the car to a velocity of 10 m/s in 12 s. The continues onward for 10 s more. How far in m did the car travel for the full 52 s? Report your answer to three sig figs, you don't need to write "m". HINT: Break up the problem into three stages - 30s, 12s, and the final 10s. During the 12 s, you'll need the acceleration.
