An attack helicopter is equipped with a 20- mm cannon that fires 88.7 g shells in the forward direction with a muzzle speed of 9

29 m/s. the fully loaded helicopter has a mass of 4180 kg. a burst of 89.9 shells is fired in a 4.84 s interval. what is the resulting average force on the helicopter? answer in units of n

The impulse imparted to the shells equals the change in the momentum:
Fav*(Delta t)= Delta m*v.
The mass change is
Delta m= n*m= (89.9shells)*(88.7g)=7.97Kg
So the average force is
F=((v)*(Delta m))/t= ((929)*(7.97))/4.84=1529.78 N
Since the velocity of the shells is much greater than the velocity of the helicopter, there is no need to use relative velocity.

A fox ﬂeeing from a hunter encounters a 0.700 m tall fence and attempts to jump it. The fox jumps with an initial velocity of 7.

iris [78.8K]

Answer:0.61 m

Explanation:

Given

Initial velocity (u)=7.40 m/s

launch angle $\theta =45^{\circ}$

height of fence=0.7 m

Trajectory of Projectile is given by

$y=x\tan \theta -\frac{gx^2}{2u^2\cos^2\theta }$

For x=2.1 m

$y=2.1\tan (45)-\frac{9.8\times 2.1^2}{2\times 7.4^2\times (\cos 45)^2}$

$y=2.1-0.789$

$y=1.31 m$

At x=2.1 m Y=1.31

therefore Fox clear fence by a margin =1.31-0.7=0.61 m

Why would it be cooler if you climb to a higher elevation in a desert

Arturiano [62]

Because cool air rises and warm air falls, so if you wanted the cooler air, you would need to go to higher elevation

3 things that Gravity affects

slamgirl [31]

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

Gravity is simply referred to as the force of attraction between two particles or masses. Through gravity, the moon moves round the Earth.

Gravity also causes a fruit to fall from its tree. It can also cause an object to roll and fall from the table to the ground. In gravity, distance and mass are vital.

Two containers have a substantial amount of the air evacuated out of them so that the pressure inside is half the pressure at se

adoni [48]

Answer:

$(a)\ F_{No} = [P_{No} - \frac{P_{area}}{2}]* A$

$(b)\ F_{No} = 771.125N$

Explanation:

Given

$d_D = 6000ft$ ---- Altitude of container in Denver

$A = 0.0155m^2$ -- Surface Area of the container lid

$P_D = 79000Pa$ --- Air pressure in Denver

$P_{No} = 100250Pa$ --- Air pressure in New Orleans

<em>See comment for complete question</em>

Solving (a): The expression for $F_{No$

Force is calculated as:

$F = \triangle P * A$

The force in New Orleans is:

$F_{No} = \triangle P * A$

Since the inside pressure is half the pressure at sea level, then:

$\triangle P = P_{No} - \frac{P_{area}}{2}$

Where

$P_{area} = 101000Pa$ --- Standard Pressure

Recall that:

$F_{No} = \triangle P * A$

This gives:

$F_{No} = [P_{No} - \frac{P_{area}}{2}]* A$

Solving (b): The value of $F_{No$

In (a), we have:

$F_{No} = [P_{No} - \frac{P_{area}}{2}]* A$

Where

$A = 0.0155m^2$

$P_{No} = 100250Pa$

$P_{area} = 101000Pa$

So, we have:

$F_{No} = [100250 - \frac{101000}{2}] * 0.0155$

$F_{No} = [100250 - 50500] * 0.0155$

$F_{No} = 49750* 0.0155$

$F_{No} = 771.125N$
