A knife thrower throws a knife toward a 300 g target that is sliding in her direction at a speed of 2.05 m/s on a horizontal frictionless surface. She throws a 22.5 g knife at the target with a speed of 36.0 m/s. The target is stopped by the impact and the knife passes through the target. Determine the speed of the knife (in m/s) after passing through the target. m/s

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!
