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?
Physics

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 :-)

For copper, ρ = 8.93 g/cm3 and M = 63.5 g/mol. Assuming one free electron per copper atom, what is the drift velocity of electro
viktelen [127]

Answer:

V_d = 1.75 × 10⁻⁴ m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Density of copper, ρ = 8.93 g/cm³

mass, M = 63.5 g/mol

Radius of wire = 0.625 mm

Current, I = 3A

Area of the wire, A = \frac{\pi d^2}{4} = A = \frac{\pi 0.625^2}{4}

Now,

The current density, J is given as

J=\frac{I}{A}=\frac{3}{ \frac{\pi 0.625^2}{4}}= 2444619.925 A/mm²

now, the electron density, n = \frac{\rho}{M}N_A

where,

N_A=Avogadro's Number

n = \frac{8.93}{63.5}(6.2\times 10^{23})=8.719\times 10^{28}\ electrons/m^3

Now,

the drift velocity, V_d

V_d=\frac{J}{ne}

where,

e = charge on electron = 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C

thus,

V_d=\frac{2444619.925}{8.719\times 10^{28}\times (1.6\times 10^{-19})e} = 1.75 × 10⁻⁴ m/s

What is the momentum of an object in splace
forsale [732]

Answer:

The total momentum of the universe is always the same and is equal to zero. The total momentum of an isolated system never changes. Momentum can be transferred from one body to another.

Momentum quantifies how likely an object is to stay in motion. Momentum can also be explained using the equation, p=mv, where p is equal to momentum, m is equal to mass, and v is equal to velocity.

That is a difference between a law and a hypothesis?
telo118 [61]

Answer:

<em>A hypothesis</em> is a limited explanation of a phenomenon; a scientific theory is an in-depth explanation of the observed phenomenon.

<em> A law</em> is a statement about an observed phenomenon or a unifying concept, according to Kennesaw State University. ... However, Newton's law doesn't explain what gravity is, or how it works.

When the speed of the bottle is 2 m/s, the KE is kg m2/s2. When the speed of the bottle is 3 m/s, the KE is kg m2/s2. When the s
d1i1m1o1n [39]

mass of the bottle in each case is M = 0.250 kg

now as per given speeds we can use the formula of kinetic energy to find it

1) when speed is 2 m/s

kinetic energy is given as

K = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

K = \frac{1}{2}(0.250)(2)^2 = 0.5 J

2) when speed is 3 m/s

kinetic energy is given as

K = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

K = \frac{1}{2}(0.250)(3)^2 = 1.125 J

3) when speed is 4 m/s

kinetic energy is given as

K = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

K = \frac{1}{2}(0.250)(4)^2 = 2 J

4) when speed is 5 m/s

kinetic energy is given as

K = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

K = \frac{1}{2}(0.250)(5)^2 = 3.125 J

5) when speed is 6 m/s

kinetic energy is given as

K = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

K = \frac{1}{2}(0.250)(6)^2 = 4.5 J
