Answer:
2 m/s²
Explanation:
If changes speed by 2 meters per second each second means:
2 m/s²
Because it changes constantly it veloctity.
Remember the aceleration changes the velocity.
Answer:
Mechanical energy is the energy that is possessed by an object due to its motion or due to its position. Mechanical energy can be either kinetic energy (energy of motion) or potential energy
Answer:

Explanation:
For the cat to stay in place on the merry go round without sliding the magnitude of maximum static friction must be equal to magnitude of centripetal force

Where the r is the radius of merry-go-round and v is the tangential speed
but

So we have

Substitute the given values
So

Answer: Smaller than ; larger than
Explanation:
When the elevator is moving in the upward direction, then the force acting on it is negative in nature because of
N= mg +ma, (g is gravity and a is acceleration)
here ma is negative so the N= mg-ma
Hence, it feels smaller than its original weight.
When the elevator is moving downward , then the force acting will be positive in nature
N= mg+ma,
here ma will be positive so it feels larger the original weight of passenger.
