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 :-)

What is the difference between a physical change and a chemical change
Contact [7]
A physical change in something doesn't change what the it is. For example, if you break glass, it will still be glass. In a chemical change where there is a chemical reaction, a new thing is formed and energy is either given off or absorbed. For example, when you burn a log. The carbon in the log is reacting to the oxygen to create ashe and smoke

When two or more identical capacitors are connected in series across a potential difference?
OlgaM077 [116]
<span>When two or more identical capacitors (or resistors) are connected
in series across a potential difference, the potential difference divides
equally among them.

For example, if you have nine identical capacitors (or resistors) all
connected end-to-end like elephants in a circus parade, and you
connect the string to a source of 117 volts (either AC or DC), then
you will measure

(117v / 9)  =  13 volts

across each unit in the string.</span>

During oxidation-reduction reactions, a material loses electrons to the oxidizer, which has a positive charge. Which power sourc
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

D. Battery

During the oxidation-reduction(redox) reaction, there is always flow of electrons from one point to another. The electrons are then converted to power through the battery which converts chemical energy to electrical energy. If there is zero flow of electrons then there will also be zero power.

pogonyaev
Hello,

The answer is option A "Venus".

Reason:

The planet Venus spins the wrong way many scientists are not sure why. Its not options B, C, or D because these planets spin the same way the as each other. (besides Venus) Therefore the answer is option A.

If you need anymore help feel free to ask me!

Hope this helps!
