A helicopter descends from a height of 600 m with uniform negative acceleration, reaching the ground at rest in 5.00 minutes. de
uranmaximum [27]
Given:
h = 600 m, the height of descent
t = 5 min = 5*60 = 300 s, the time of descent.

Let a =  the acceleration of descent., m/s².
Let u =  initial velocity of descent, m/s.
Let t = time of descent, s.
The final velocity is v = 0 m/s because the helicopter comes to rest on the ground.
Note that u,  v, and a are measured as positive upward.

Then
 u + at = v
(u m/s) + (a m/s²)*(t s) = 0
u = - at
u = - 300a                  (1)

Also,
u*t + (1/2)at² = -h
(um/s)*(t s) + (1/2)(a m/s²)*(t s)² = 600
ut + (1/2)at² = 600       (2)
From (1), obtain
-300a +(1/2)(a)(90000) = -600
44700a = -600
a = - 1.3423 x 10⁻² m/s²

From (1), obtain
u = - 300*(-1.3423 x 10⁻²) = 4.03 m/s

Answer:
The acceleration is 0.0134 m/s² downward.
The initial velocity is 4.0 m/s upward.

What happens when you add heat to an object and when you cool an object
Katena32 [7]
When you heat up an object three things could possibly happen:

i) Increase in temperature of the object. Imagine heating up water, the temperature increases.

ii)  Linear Expansion: The object could increase in length. For example if you heat up a steel rod, the length would increase as a result of linear expansion.

iii) Change of State: The object could change from solid state to liquid state or from liquid state to gaseous state, as the case may be. For example heating ice block to liquid water.

To correct myopia (nearsightedness) requires ___________ lenses; to correct hyperopia (farsightedness) requires _____________ le
zysi [14]

By using concave lens, we can correct Myopia and Hyperopia can be corrected by convex lenses.

To find the answer, we need to know about Myopia and Hyperopia.

<h3>What is Myopia and Hyperopia?</h3>
  • Myopia is an optical defect, in which a person can see nearby objects clearly and cannot see far off objects clearly.
  • Here the eyeball becomes too longer, and the focal length of eye lens become too short.
  • It can be corrected by using concave lens.
  • For Hyperopia, the person can see far off objects clearly and cannot see nearby objects clearly.
  • This can be corrected by using convex lens.

Thus, we can conclude that, by using concave lens, we can correct Myopia and Hyperopia can be corrected by convex lenses.
