Answer:

T = 17649.03 N = 17.65 KN

Explanation:

The tension in the cable must be equal to the apparent weight of the passenger. For upward acceleration:

T = W_A = m(g+a)\\

where,

T = Tension in cable = ?

W_A = Apparent weight

m = mass = 1603 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

a = acceleration of elevator = 1.2 m/s²

Therefore,

T = (1603\ kg)(9.81\ m/s^2+1.2\ m/s^2)\\\\

<u>T = 17649.03 N = 17.65 KN</u>

Serggg [28]

Answer:

2.2N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Work done  = 379.5J

Height  = 173m

Unknown:

Amount of force exerted on the sled  = ?

Solution:

The amount of force she exerted on the sled is the same as her weight.

Work done is the force applied to move a body through a distance.

      Work done  = mgh

m is the mass

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height

     mg  = weight;

        Work done  = weight x h

           379.5 = weight  x  173

           weight  = \frac{379.5}{173}   = 2.2N

Sugar dissolved in water is an example of?
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

D. Solution

Explanation:

Sugar dissolved in water is an example of solution.

A solution is a homogenous mixture of solutes and solvents.

In a solution the solute particles ae distributed uniformly in the solvents. The solute is the substance and it is the sugar here that is dissolved to make a solution.

The solvent is the water in this instance that helps to dissolve the solute.

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

Option D

Reacts with sodium to form chloride

Explanation:

First, reaction between chlorine and sodium is a chemical reaction and not physical properties. Secondly, when chlorine reacts with sodium, it forms sodium chloride, NaCl NOT chloride as depicted by the statement. Otherwise, chlorine exists in the form of gas and is yellowish in color. Moreover, it's density is approximately 3.11 grams per liter. Therefore, the right answer is option D
