**Elevator Physics Problem**

A 2400 kg elevator accelerates upward at \(1.40 \, \text{m/s}^2\) for \(15.0 \, \text{m}\), starting from rest.

### Part A
Calculate the work done by gravitational force on the elevator.
- **Answer:** \(-3.53 \times 10^5 \, \text{J}**

### Part B
How much work does the tension in the elevator cable do on the elevator?
- **Answer:** \(4.03 \times 10^5 \, \text{J}\)

### Part C
Use the work-kinetic energy theorem to find the kinetic energy of the elevator as it reaches \(15.0 \, \text{m}\).
- **Answer:** \(5.04 \times 10^4 \, \text{J}\)

### Part D
What is the speed of the elevator as it reaches \(15.0 \, \text{m}\)?

- **Input Attempt:** \(16500 \, \text{m/s}\)
- **Feedback:** Incorrect; enter your answer using units of velocity.

Ensure calculations for velocity align with physical expectations and proper units.
