A physics student, in a stationary elevator, places a 250.0 g mass on an electronic balance. The student hits the elevator button and it begins to move upwards. While the elevator is accelerating upwards, the electronic balance reads 262.0 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/s2 to 1 decimal place
