Question

what forces are present in this situation?
an elevator is rising at a constant speed; the elevator is the object in this situation.
normal and tension
normal, gravity, and tension
gravity
gravity and tension

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze forces on elevator

The elevator has mass, so gravity ($F_g = mg$) acts downward. The cable pulling the elevator exerts a tension force ($F_T$) upward. Since the elevator is moving at constant speed (equilibrium), these two forces balance. There is no normal force here as the normal force is usually between two surfaces in contact (e.g., elevator on a floor which it's not in this case of just elevator rising via cable).

Answer:

gravity and tension
