what is the pressure on a circular helipad of diameter 100 m on which a helicopter of weight 40,000 N is landing. *
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

5.09 Pa

Explanation:

Area of the circle = πr²

The diameter is given, so 100/2 = 50 m is the radius.

π x 50² = 7854 m²

Pressure = force/area

Pressure = 40000/7854

Pressure = 5.09 Pa

Hope this helps!

Directions: Consider a 2-kg bowling ball sits on top of a building that is 40 meters tall. It falls to the ground. Think about t
satela [25.4K]

1) At the top, the ball has more potential energy

2) Halfway through the fall, potential energy and kinetic energy are equal

3) Before hitting the ground, the ball has more kinetic energy

4) Potential energy at the top: 784 J

5) Potential energy halfway through the fall: 392 J

6) Kinetic energy halfway through the fall: 392 J

7) KInetic energy before hitting the ground: 784 J

Explanation:

1)

The potential energy of an object is the energy possessed by the object due to its position in a gravitational field. It is given by

PE=mgh

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration of gravity

h is the height of the object above the ground

The kinetic energy of an object is the energy possessed by the object due to its motion, and it is given by

KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where v is the speed of the object

For the bowling ball in the problem, when it sits on top of the building it has no kinetic energy (because its speed is zero, v = 0), therefore it has more potential energy than kinetic energy.

2)

The total mechanical energy of the ball, which is the sum of the potential and the kinetic energy, is constant during the fall:

E=PE+KE=const.

When the ball is at the top, all its energy is potential energy, since the kinetic energy is zero:

E=PE=mgH

where H is the initial height.

When the ball is halfway through the fall, the height is H/2, so:

PE=mg\frac{H}{2}

which means that the potential energy is now half of the total mechanical energy: but since the total energy must be constant, this means that the kinetic energy is now also half of the total energy. Therefore, potential energy and kinetic energy are equal.

3)

When the ball is just before hitting the ground, the height of the ball is now zero

h = 0

This also means that the potential energy is zero

PE = 0

Therefore, all the energy of the ball is now kinetic energy:

KE=E

which means that the kinetic energy is maximum, and therefore it is larger than the potential energy: this is because the ball accelerates during the fall, and therefore its speed is maximum just before hitting the ground.

4)

The potential energy of the ball is given by

PE=mgh

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration of gravity

h is the height of the object above the ground

When the ball sits at the top, we have

m = 2 kg

g=9.8 m/s^2

h = 40 m

Therefore, the potential energy is

PE=(2)(9.8)(40)=784 J

5)

The potential energy of the ball is given by

PE=mgh

where

m = 2 kg is the mass

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

When the ball is halfway through the fall, the height of the ball is

h = 20 m

Therefore, its potential energy is

PE=(2)(9.8)(20)=392 J

which is half of the initial potential energy.

6)

The kinetic energy of the ball is given by

KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m is the mass of the ball

v is its speed

When the ball is halfway through the fall, we have:

m = 2 kg (mass of the ball)

v = 19.8 m/s (speed of the ball)

Therefore, the kinetic energy is

KE=\frac{1}{2}(2)(19.8)^2=392 J

Which is equal to the potential energy.

7)

The kinetic energy of the ball just before hitting the ground is

KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where in this case,

m = 2 kg is the mass

v = 28 m/s is the speed of the ball

Therefore, kinetic energy is

KE=\frac{1}{2}(2)(28)^2=784 J

And we see that the kinetic energy of the ball just before hitting the ground is equal to the potential energy of the ball when it sits at the top: therefore, all the mechanical energy has converted from potential energy into kinetic energy.
