A 13,000 kg helicopter accelerates upward a 0.5 m/s^2 while lifting a 2000 pound car. to the nearest newton, what is the lift fo

Lift force exerted by the air on the rotors=143244 N

Explanation:

we use Newtons second law

F- (M+m)g=(M+m)a

F= lift force

m= mass of helicopter= 13000 Kg

M= mass of car= 2000 lb=907.2 kg

a= acceleration= 0.5 m/s²

g= acceleration due to gravity

F- (M+m)g=(M+m)a

F=(M+m)(a+g)

F=(13000+907.2)(0.5+9.8)

F=143244 N

Light enters a substance from air at 30 degrees to thenormal.

Gwar [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

The angle of incidence and refraction are both measured from the normal

angle of incidence = 30°

angle of refraction = 23°

refractive index(n) = sini / sinr

n = sin30°/sin23°

n = 1.27965

refractive index (n) = 1/sinC

where C is the critical angle.

sinC= 1/n

C =arcsin (1/n)

C =arcsin (1/1.27965)

C = 51.39°

Two friends, Al and Jo, have a combined mass of 195 kg. At the ice skating rink, they stand close together on skates, at rest an

ddd [48]

Answer:

Al's mass is 102.92 kg

Explanation:

As there are no external forces in the horizontal direction, the horizontal net force must be zero:

$F_{net} = 0$

As the force is the derivative in time of the momentum, this means that the horizontal momentum is constant:

$F_{net} = \frac{dp_{horizontal}}{dt} = 0$

$p_{horizontal_i }= p_{horizontal_f}$

where the suffix i and f means initial and final respectively.

The initial momentum will be:

$p_{horizontal_}i = m_{Al} \ v_{Al_i} + m_{Jo} \ v_{Jo_i}$

But, as they are at rest, initially

$p_{horizontal_i} = m_{Al} * 0 + m_{Jo} * 0$

$p_{horizontal_i} = 0$

So, this means:

$p_{horizontal_f} = m_{Al} \ v_{Al_f} + m_{Jo} \ v_{Jo_f} = 0$

We know that the have an combined mass of 195 kg:

$m_{total} = m_{Al} + m_{Jo} = 195 \ kg$ .

so:

$m_{Jo} = 195 \ kg - m_{Al}$ .

$m_{Al} \ v_{Al_f} + (195 \ kg - m_{Al}) \ v_{Jo_f} = 0$

$m_{Al} \ v_{Al_f} - m_{Al} \ v_{Jo_f}= - 195 \ kg \ v_{Jo_f}$

$m_{Al} \ (v_{Al_f} - v_{Jo_f})= - 195 \ kg \ v_{Jo_f}$

$m_{Al} = \frac{ - 195 \ kg \ v_{Jo_f} } { v_{Al_f} - v_{Jo_f} }$

$m_{Al} = \frac{195 \ kg \ v_{Jo_f} } { v_{Jo_f} - v_{Al_f} }$

Now, we can use the values:

$v_{Al_f}= 10.2 \frac{m}{s}$

$v_{Jo_f}= - 11.4 \frac{m}{s}$

where the minus sign appears as they are moving at opposite directions

$m_{Al} = \frac{195 \ kg ( - 11.4 \frac{m}{s} ) } { (- 11.4 \frac{m}{s}) - 10.2 \frac{m}{s} }$

$m_{Al} = 102.92 \ kg$

and this is the Al's mass.

If hot air rises then why is it cold in space please explain in detail thank you

Helen [10]

Hot air has a lower density than the surrounding atmosphere, therefore,it will rise.. The reason it is "cold" in the upper atmosphere is actually because of a lower air density.

a 1200 kg car rolling on a horizontal surfact has a speed of 25 m/s when it strikes a horizontal coiled spring and is brought ot

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

The required spring constant:

The spring constant of the spring is $12\times 10^4 \text{ N/m}$ .

Calculation:

The mass of the car is m=1200 kg, the speed of the car is v=25 m/s, and after colliding the spring is brought to rest at a distance of x=2.5m. Let the spring constant of the spring is, k.

From the conservation of energy,

Total initial kinetic energy= Total final potential energy of the spring

Therefore,

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}kx^2$

Now, substituting the values of the mass of the car, speed of the car, and displacement, we get:

$\begin{aligned}1200\times(25)^2&=k\times (2.5)^2\\\Rightarrow k&=\frac{1200\times(25)^2}{(2.5)^2}\\&=12\times 10^4 \text{ N/m}\end{aligned}$
