I believe the answer would be Kinetic Energy. Kinetic energy is defined as energy which a body possesses by virtue of being in motion. We weren’t given answer choices so I don’t have much to work with lol.
With mass 2500 kg, the elevator has weight
(2500 kg) <em>g</em> = (2500 kg) (9.80 m/s²) = 24,500 N
The net force on the elevator is 30,000 N - 24,500 N = 5500 N (because its weight pulls it downward, while the tension pulls upward).
The acceleration <em>a</em> of the elevator is obtained from Newton's second law,
(2500 kg) <em>a</em> = 5500 N
<em>a</em> = (5500 N) / (2500 kg)
<em>a</em> = 2.2 m/s²
Is there any answers option?
