Answer:

Tension, T = 87.63  N

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the object, m = 6.9 kg

The string is acting in the upward direction, a = 2.9 m/s²

Acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

As the lift is accelerating upwards, it means the net force acting on it is given by :

T = m(a+g)

= 6.9 (2.9+9.8)

= 6.9(2.7)

= 87.63  N

So, the tension in the string is 87.63  N.

Dima020 [189]
The appropriate term is latent heat. This energy is released as the water changes state from a gas to liquid....a liquid to solid etc. the latent heat is either absorbed or given off by the water as it changes its physical state. Latent heat of fusion is associated with freezing a liquid or melting a solid.
