Answer:

The helicopter was 1103.63 meters high when the package was dropped.

Explanation:

We consider positive speed as a downward movement

y: height (m)

t: time (s)

v₀: initial speed (m/s)

Δy = v₀t + \frac{1}{2}gt²

Δy= 15\frac{m}{s}×15 s + \frac{1}{2}×9.81\frac{m}{s^{2} }×(15 s)²

Δy= 1103.63 m

OLga [1]
<span>To find the gravitational potential energy of an object, we can use this equation: GPE = mgh m is the mass of the object in kg g = 9.80 m/s^2 h is the height of the object in meters GPE = mgh GPE = (0.700 kg) (9.80 m/s^2) (1.5 m) GPE = 10.3 J The gravitational potential energy of this can is 10.3 J</span>

A particle is confined to the x-axis between x = 0 and x = 1 nm. The potential energy U = 0 inside this region and U is infinite
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

According to heisenberg uncertainty Principle

Δx Δp ≥ h / 4π , where Δx  is uncertainty in position , Δp is uncertainty in momentum .

Given

Δx = 1 nm

Δp ≥ h /1nm x  4π

≥ 6.6 x 10⁻³⁴ / 10⁻⁹ x  4 π

≥  . 5254 x ⁻²⁵

h / λ ≥  . 5254 x ⁻²⁵

 6.6 x 10⁻³⁴ /. 5254 x ⁻²⁵ ≥ λ  

12.56 x 10⁻⁹ ≥ λ  

longest wave length = 12.56 n m

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

The maximum mass that can fall on the mattress without exceeding the maximum compression distance is 16.6 kg

Explanation:

Hi there!

Due to conservation of energy, the potential energy (PE) of the mass at a height of 3.32 m will be transformed into elastic potential energy (EPE) when it falls on the mattress:

PE = EPE

m · g · h = 1/2 k · x²

Where:

m = mass.

g = acceleration due to gravity.

h = height.

k = spring constant.

x = compression distance

The maximum compression distance is 0.1289 m, then, the maximum elastic potential energy will be the following:

EPE =1/2 k · x²

EPE = 1/2 · 65144 N/m · (0.1289 m)² = 541.2 J

Then, using the equation of gravitational potential energy:

PE = m · g · h =  541.2 J

m =  541.2 J/ g · h

m = 541.2 kg · m²/s² / (9.8 m/s² · 3.32 m)

m = 16.6 kg

The maximum mass that can fall on the mattress without exceeding the maximum compression distance is 16.6 kg.
