4200 N  is the tension in the cable that pulls the elevator upwards.

The correct option is A.

<h3>What does tension ?</h3>

Tension is the force that is sent through a rope, thread, or wire whenever two opposing forces pull on it. Along the whole length of the wire, the tensile stress pulls equally on all objects at the ends. Every physical object that comes into contact with that other one exerts force on it.

<h3>Briefing:</h3>

We employ the following formula to determine the cable's tension.

Formula:

T = mg+ma............ Equation 1

Where:

T is the cable's tension.

M = Mass of the elevator and the Joey

Accelerating with a

g = Gravitational acceleration

Considering the query,

Given:

m = (300+60) = 360 kg

a = 2 m/s²

g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 2

T = (360×9.8)+(360×2)

T = 3528+720

T = 4248 N

T ≈ 4200 to the nearest hundred.

A student measured the specific heat of water to be 4.29 J/g.Co. The
leonid [27]

Answer:

2.63 %.

Explanation:

Given that,

The calculated value of the specific heat of water is 4.29 J/g.C

Original value of  specific heat of water is 4.18 J/g.C.

We need to find the student's percent error. The percentage error in any quantity is given by :

P=\dfrac{|\text{original value-calculated value}|}{\text{original value}}\times 100\\\\P=\dfrac{4.29-4.18}{4.18}\times 100\\\\P=2.63\%

So, the student's percent error is 2.63 %.

What is the potential energy of a puppy that weighs 18 N istting in a high chair 2 m high?
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

Potential energy =mass* acceleration due to gravity * height

mass*acceleration due to gravity =weight

hence potential energy of the puppy= weight * height

=18*2

=36 joule

How does Electromagnetic Energy Travel?
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

Perpendicular to the electric field and magnetic field

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are transverse waves composed by the perpendicular oscillating electric and magnetic fields.

EM waves have both Electrical and magnetic features.

they travel in the velocity of light (3*10⁸ ms⁻¹)

they does not require any media to travel. It has two perpendicular electric field and the magnetic field which are perpendicular to each other

They travel perpendicular to each of those electric and magnetic fields.
