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.

The Assignment: A fixed quantity of an ideal gas (R 0.28 kJ/kgK; Cv-0.71kJ/kgK) is expanded from an initial condition of 35 bar,
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

Index of expansion: 4.93

Δu = -340.8 kJ/kg

q = 232.2 kJ/kg

Explanation:

The index of expansion is the relationship of pressures:

pi/pf

The ideal gas equation:

p1*v1/T1 = p2*v2/T2

p2 = p1*v1*T2/(T2*v2)

500 C = 773 K

20 C = 293 K

p2 = 35*0.1*773/(293*1.3) = 7.1 bar

The index of expansion then is 35/7.1 = 4.93

The variation of specific internal energy is:

Δu = Cv * Δt

Δu = 0.71 * (20 - 500) = -340.8 kJ/kg

The first law of thermodynamics

q = l + Δu

The work will be the expansion work

l = p2*v2 - p1*v1

35 bar = 3500000 Pa

7.1 bar = 710000 Pa

q = p2*v2 - p1*v1 + Δu

q = 710000*1.3 - 3500000*0.1 - 340800 = 232200 J/kg = 232.2 kJ/kg

Explain why the surface of Venus is hotter than the surface of Mercury
Hitman42 [59]
<span>Venus is hotter due to the greenhouse effect: Venus has an atmosphere about ninety times thicker than that of Earth, and made almost entirely of carbon dioxide, which is one of the gasses that causes the greenhouse effect on Earth.</span>

How does a mirror affect the path of light?
yulyashka [42]

Light rays change direction when they hit a mirror. The phenomenon is known as reflection. Light rays travels in a straight light. They strike the surface of the mirror at a particular angle called incident angle. It is the angle between the ray and normal at the point of contact. The rays leaves the surface making the same angle with the normal called reflection angle but in different direction.
