While an elevator of mass 2400 kg moves upward, the tension in the cable is 39.8 kN. Assume the elevator is supported by a single cable. Forces exerted by the guide rails and air resistance are negligible. a.) What is the acceleration of the elevator? If the acceleration is in upward direction, enter a positive value and if the acceleration is in downward direction, enter a negative value. b.)If at some point in the motion the velocity of the elevator is 1.20 m/s upward, what is the upward velocity of the elevator 4.00 s later?

While an elevator of mass 2400 kg moves upward, the tension in the cable is 39.8 kN. Assume the elevator is supported by a single cable. Forces exerted by the guide rails and air resistance are negligible.

a.) What is the acceleration of the elevator? If the acceleration is in upward direction, enter a positive value and if the acceleration is in downward direction, enter a negative value.

b.)If at some point in the motion the velocity of the elevator is 1.20 m/s upward, what is the upward velocity of the elevator 4.00 s later?
