    This document summarizes an experiment that used a smartphone's built-in barometer and accelerometer to measure the speed of an elevator. It found that the elevator's peak average velocity was 1.919 m/s, much slower than the average elevator speed of 9.8 m/s. This was likely because the elevator was over 15 years old. The results were deemed reliable based on pressure and acceleration measurements. Improving the experiment would require controlling the elevator without other passengers pressing buttons.

    How fast is the Elevator?

    According to Dr Garsed (2016) the


    average speed of elevators is at around
    22 mi/hr or at 9.8 m/s.
    The speed of the elevator I use is very slow compared to the
    average. Perhaps this is because it is over 15 years old as it
    has never been replaced since the building’s conception.

    How do you improve

    the experiment?

    Presented by: Cres Dan Bangoy Jr.


    ELEVATOR SPEED
    How fast is the Elevator?
    The experiment was done in an elevator
    that is actively being used.
    If people pressed the button and promped the elevator I
    was riding, the elevator would have relcalculated its travel
    time, speed etc. to cater the call. These are aspects I cannot
    control as the elevator is a public utility. Perhaps if the
    elevator was controlled to be for my use only, more
    accurate results would have been garnered.
