An elevator starts on the ground floor and stops on the 10th floor of a high-rise building. The elevator reaches a constant speed by the time it reaches the 1st floor and decelerates to rest between the 9th and 10th floors. Describe the energy transformations taking place between the 1st and 9th floors.
