A physics student, in a stationary elevator, places a 240.0 g mass on an electronic balance. The student hits the elevator button and it begins to move upwards. Just before the elevator comes to a stop at a higher floor, the balance 198.0 g. What is the acceleration of the elevator? Consider: UP to be (+), DOWN to be (-) and g =9.8 m/s² - Give your answer in m/s? to 2 decimal place

A little toy car is powered by a CO2 cartridge that produces a thrust force according to the following function: Fthrust(t) = 6.0N e-0.2t. The car also has a friction coefficient of 0.05 due to the wheels and bearings. If the car's mass is 1.2kg, and the car travels in the +x direction, what will it's acceleration function look like as a function of time? If it starts from rest, what will vx(t) be? How fast will the car be going after 3.0s? What maximum speed will be reached by the car?
