A physics student, in a stationary elevator, places a 210.0 g mass on an electronic balance. The student hits the elevator button and it begins to move upwards. While the elevator is moving, the student records this information Time = 0 to 3.0 sec the balance reads 275 grams Time = 3.0 - 12 sec the balance reads 210. grams Time = 12.0 to 15.0 sec the balance reads 194 gram How far up (in meters) did the elevator travel? Consider: UP to be (+), DOWN to be (-) and g =9.8 m/s? . Give your answer in m to 1 decimal place HINT: This problem requires finding THREE different displacements and adding them up! 2nd HINT: You will need to (A) use your equations of motion or (B) make a v-t graph to find those displacements!

A pendulum consists of a 382.3 gram mass on the end of a 3.9 meter long string that swings back and forth. It is observed that when the string makes an angle 68 degrees from the vertical, the mass is moving at 5.7 m/s. If there is no air resistance, what will be the maximum speed of the mass, in m/s?
