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. While the elevator is moving, the student records this information
Time = 0 to 3.0 sec the balance reads 278 grams
Time = 3.0 - 12 sec the balance reads 240. grams
Time = 12.0 to 15.0 sec the balance reads 192 gram
How far up (in meters) did the elevator travel?
Consider:
UP to be (+), DOWN to be (-) and g =9.8 m/s2 .
ROUND YOUR ANSWER TO A WHOLE NUMBER of meters (no decimal places)
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!
When a 6.50 kg load is hanging from the free end of a 29.0 cm long spring, the spring extends to a length of 34.7 cm.
How many newtons per meter is the spring constant?
A weight of 185 N should be used instead of the 6.50 kg weight. This will change the spring's size.
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 274 grams
Time = 3.0 - 12 sec the balance reads 210. grams
