Example: Elevator cab in Bloomberg

We draw x(t), v(t), and a(t) for elevator cab as it serves a passenger from one floor to another. The a(t) curve is piecewise constant with portions of constant velocity motion, constant acceleration and constant deceleration. (viz. Haliday and Reznick Sample Problem 2-4)
