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.

A light wave travels through air at a speed of 3.0x108 m/s. Green light has a wavelength of about 5.76x1014Hz. What is the wavel
solong [7]

Answer:

521 nm

Explanation:

Given the values and units we are given, I'm assuming  5.76*10^14 Hz is frequency.

The formula to use here is λ * υ = c, where λ is wavelength, υ is frequency, and c is the speed of light.

λ = \frac{3*10^8\frac{m}{s} }{5.76*10^{14}Hz} = {5.20833*10^{-7} m}\approx{521 *10^{-9}m}={521 nm}

What was also changed in the "Levers" lab when the position of the fulcrum was changed?
erastova [34]

Effort force

Explanation:

When the potion of fulcrum and weight is changed, the mechanical advantage changes.Increasing the distance between the fulcrum and the effort, there is a proportion increase in effort required to lift a load.The ration of the distance from the fulcrum to the position of input and output application gives the mechanical advantage in levers when losses due to friction are not considered.

An eccentric inventor attempts to levitate a cork ball by wrapping it with foil and placing a large negative charge on the ball
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

because of the idea that like charges get repulsion as a force.

Explanation:

because you wrap the ball with foil, the negative charges will leave the foil and go into the ball by induction. This leaves the foil as a positively charged particle since its electrons left it for the ball, making the ball a negatively charged particle. but if you bring the negative charge near the foil, the electrons will transfer from that and go into the foil, making it negatively charged. Now, because the ball and the foil have the same charge, they repel. the foil flies off.
