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 :-)

klasskru [66]

Answer:

T=2\pi \times \sqrt {\frac {g}{\mu R}

Explanation:

\mu mw^{2}R=mg

where m is the mass, g is acceleration due to gravity

The masses m are on both sides hence they cancel

W=\sqrt {\frac {g}{\mu R}

We know that T=2\pi W and substituting W with the above equation then

T=2\pi \times \sqrt {\frac {g}{\mu R}

A car stops in 120 m. If it has an acceleration of –5m/s 2 , how long did it take to stop
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

t=240s

Explanation:

Distance=120m

Acceleration=-5m/s^2

v=0

Let u=x m/s

Using equation v^2-u^2=2as:-

0-x=2(-5)(120)

-x=-1200

x=1200m/s

Using now equation v=u+at:-

0=1200+-5t

5t=1200

t=240s

Why is thermal expansion an important consideration for engineering?
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Thermal expansion is where materials expand while being heated, causing them to take up more space. Some materials expand more than others. But this all happens due to the motion of tiny little molecules. Temperature is the average kinetic energy of the molecules in a substance.

Thermal expansion is an important consideration for engineering because different materials exhibit changes in size when exposed to heat. Thus, affecting length, width, surface area, volume, shape etc

Mass and Weight: What is the mass of an object that experiences a gravitational force of 685 N near Earth's surface where g
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

m = 69.9 kg

Explanation:

The mass and the weight of an object are two different quantities. Mass is basically the amount of matter that is present in a body. It remains same everywhere in the universe and measured in kilograms.

Weight is basically a force. It is the force by which earth attracts everything towards itself. The weight of an object changes from planet to planet, with the change in value of the gravitational acceleration (g).

Therefore, the relation between mass and weight of an object is given by the following formula:

W = mg

m = W/g

where,

m = mass = ?

W = Weight = 685 N

g = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

m = (685 N)/(9.8 m/s²)

<u>m = 69.9 kg</u>
