SUMMARY
The maximum velocity of the lift is calculated to be 4.8 m/s after accelerating from rest at 1.2 m/s² for 4 seconds. The lift then travels at this constant velocity for 8 seconds before decelerating to rest over a period of 3 seconds. The deceleration during this final phase is determined to be -1.6 m/s². These calculations utilize the kinematic equation v = u + at, where u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration, and t is the time.
