A package rests on the floor of an elevator that is rising with constant speed. the elevator exerts an upward normal force on th

e package, and hence does positive work on it.why doesn't the kinetic energy of the package increase?

Because the actual package isn't moving so the gravitational potential energy stays the same. kinetic energy is gained through motion of the object not the motion of the surroundings of the object so
unless the package is falling out of a window its losing gravitational potential energy and gaining kinetic energy. hope this helps :-)

Shtirlitz [24]
Maybe, but she hasn't proved it yet. As another example, somebody may bring a jar of gas to your laboratory, and you test the gas in the jar and you find nitrogen atoms, oxygen atoms, argon atoms, and krypton atoms, and there isn't a single compound in it. The gas in the jar is a MIXTURE of gases . . . a mixture that we call "Air".

An airplane flies eastward and always accelerates at a constant rate. At one position along its path it has a velocity of 34.3 m
Tomtit [17]

Explanation:

We'll need two equations.

v² = v₀² + 2a(x - x₀)

where v is the final velocity, v₀ is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration, x is the final position, and x₀ is the initial position.

x = x₀ + ½ (v + v₀)t

where t is time.

Given:

v = 47.5 m/s

v₀ = 34.3 m/s

x - x₀ = 40100 m

Find: a and t

(47.5)² = (34.3)² + 2a(40100)

a = 0.0135 m/s²

40100 = ½ (47.5 + 34.3)t

t = 980 s
