Friction is the force that acts on the opposite side of direction of force, thus it manages to decelerate an object, so it acts upward along the plane

A private aviation helicopter's main rotor blades rotate at approximately

Arisa [49]

Answer: 7.5 rev/s

Explanation:

We are given the angular velocity $\omega$ a helicopter's main rotor blades:

$\omega=450 rpm=450 \frac{rev}{min}$

However, we are asked to express this $\omega$ in the International Systrm (SI) units. In this sense, the SI unit for time is second ( $s$ ):

$\omega=450 \frac{rev}{min} \frac{1 min}{60 s}$

$\omega=7.5 \frac{rev}{s}$

Why heat capacity for polymer higher than metal?

jok3333 [9.3K]

Because polymers are covalently bonded material, and metals are metalicly bonded material.

Covalent bonds do not let atoms exchange electrons like metalic bonds do.

The stoplights on a street are designed to keep traﬃc moving at 26 mi/h. the average length of a street block between traﬃc ligh

bonufazy [111]

We use the formula,

$v = \frac{d}{t}$ .

Here, v is velocity and its value given 26 mi/h ( in m/s, $\frac{26 \times 1.609 \times 10^{3} m}{60 \times 60 s} =11.62 \ m/s$ ) and d is distance and its value is given 80 m.

Substituting these values in above formula we get,

$t = \frac{80 m}{11.62m/s } = 6.88 \ s$

Thus, the time delay between green lights on successive blocks to keep the traﬃc moving continuously is 6.88 s
