To solve this problem we will apply the concepts of equilibrium and Newton's second law.

According to the description given, it is under constant ascending acceleration, and the balance of the forces corresponding to the tension of the rope and the weight of the elevator must be equal to said acceleration. So

\sum F = ma

T-mg = ma

Here,

T = Tension

m = Mass

g = Gravitational Acceleration

a = Acceleration (upward)

Rearranging to find T,

T = m(g+a)

T = (975)(9.8+0.754)

T= 10290.15N

Therefore the tension force in the cable is 10290.15N

When a mass of 0.350 kg is attached to a vertical spring and lowered slowly, the spring stretches 12.0 cm. The mass is now displ
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

The period is T =  0.700 \ s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

    The mass is m =  0.350  \ kg

     The extension of the spring is  x =  12.0 \ cm = 0.12 \ m

       

The spring constant for this is mathematically represented as

       k  = \frac{F}{x}

Where F is the force on the spring which is mathematically evaluated as

       F  =  mg  =  0.350 * 9.8

       F  =3.43 \ N

So  

    k  = \frac{3.43 }{ 0.12}

    k  = 28.583 \ N/m

The period of oscillation is mathematically evaluated as

      T =  2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }

substituting values

     T =  2  *  3.142*  \sqrt{\frac{0.35 }{28.583} }

     T =  0.700 \ s

Identify the palindromic base sequence in the DNA donor molecule shown.
Airida [17]

Explanation:

Since a double helix is formed by two paired antiparallel strands of nucleotides that run in opposite directions, and the nucleotides always pair in the same way (adenine (A) with thymine (T) in DNA or uracil (U) in RNA; cytosine (C) with guanine (G)), a (single-stranded) nucleotide sequence is said to be a palindrome

A 45.0-N force pushes a cart 12.5 meters down a hallway. What is the work done on the cart?
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

562.5J

Explanation:

The following were obtained from the question:

F = 45N

d = 12.5m

w =?

The work done can be achieved by using

w = F x d

w = 45 x 12.5

w = 562.5J
