A local elevator moves upward at a constant 3.3 mps passing a stopped express elevator. Precisely 2.8 seconds later the express elevator starts upward with a constant acceleration and catches up with the local elevator where the velocity of the local with respect to the express elevator is -9.3 m/s. Determine (a) the acceleration of the express elevator in m/s/s and (b) the distance traveled in m for the express to catch up with the local elevator.
