A helicopter carrying supplies is traveling eastward, 80.0 m off the ground, at a speed of 40.0 m/s. The supplies are to be drop

ped from the helicopter to land in the back of a parked pickup truck on a flat road. When the helicopter and the truck are 300 m apart,
(a) How many seconds later should the helicopter crew drop the supplies?
(b) If the pickup truck was traveling westward at 25.0 mi/h from the beginning, then at what time should the helicopter crew drop the supplies?

Answer:

a) Helicopter need to drop the supply after 3.46 seconds.

b) Helicopter need to drop the supply after 1.83 seconds.

Explanation:

a) Let us find time of flight of supplies that is vertical motion of supplies,

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5at²

          Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

         Acceleration, a = 9.81 m/s²

         Displacement, s = 80 m

    Substituting,

                  s = ut + 0.5 at²

                 80 = 0 x t + 0.5 x 9.81 x t²

                    t = 4.04 s

  Distance traveled by helicopter in 4.04 seconds at 40 m/s = 4.04 x 40 = 161.54 m

  Distance helicopter can fly without dropping supply = 300 - 161.54 = 138.46 m

 Time taken for this

                           t=\frac{138.46}{40}=3.46s

   So helicopter need to drop the supply after 3.46 seconds.

b) Speed of truck = 25 mi/h = 11.11 m/s westward

   Speed of helicopter = 40 m/s eastward

   Relative velocity, = 40 + 11.11 = 51.11 m/s

  We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5at²

          Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

         Acceleration, a = 9.81 m/s²

         Displacement, s = 80 m

    Substituting,

                  s = ut + 0.5 at²

                 80 = 0 x t + 0.5 x 9.81 x t²

                    t = 4.04 s

  Distance traveled by relative bodies  in 4.04 seconds at 51.11 m/s = 4.04 x 51.11 = 206.48 m

  Distance helicopter can fly without dropping supply = 300 - 206.48 = 93.52 m

 Time taken for this

                           t=\frac{93.52}{51.11}=1.83s

   So helicopter need to drop the supply after 1.83 seconds.

In Newton's third law, the action and reaction forces D.)act on different objects

Explanation:

Newton's third law of motion states that:

<em>"When an object A exerts a force on object B (action force), then action B exerts an equal and  opposite force (reaction force) on object A"</em>

It is important to note from the statement above that the action force and the reaction force always act on different objects. Let's take an example: a man pushing a box. We have:

  • Action force: the force applied by the man on the box, forward
  • Reaction force: the force applied by the box on the man, backward

As we can see from this example, the action force is applied on the box, while the reaction force is applied on the man: this means that the two forces do not act on the same object. This implies that whenever we draw the free-body diagram of the forces acting on an object, the action and reaction forces never appear in the same diagram, since they act on different objects.

Calculate the wavelength λ1 for gamma rays of frequency f1 = 7.20×1021 hz .
bagirrra123 [75]
The relationship between wavelength \lambda, frequency f and speed of light c for an electromagnetic wave is
\lambda= \frac{c}{f}
Using the data of the problem, we find
\lambda= \frac{3\cdot 10^8 m/s }{7.20 \cdot 10^{21} Hz}=4.17 \cdot 10^{-14} m

As air is heated, the particles speed up and spread out (becoming less dense). Hot air balloon pilots can change the balloon’s a
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

Turn the heater on  

Explanation:

There are two main forces involved in a balloon flight

The downward force is the total weight of the balloon: the air it contains, the gas bag, the basket, the passengers, etc.

The upward force is the weight of the of the air the balloon displaces.

During level flight ,

buoyant force = weight of displaced air - total weight of balloon

If you increase the temperature of the air in the bag, the air molecules spread out and leave through the bottom of the bag.  

The balloon still has the same volume, so the weight of displaced outside air stays the same.

However, the balloon has lost some hot inside air, so its total weight decreases.  

The upward force is greater than the downward force, so the balloon rises.
