Answer:

The net force = 0

Explanation:

The given information includes;

The mass of the crate = 250 kg

The way the helicopter lifts the crate = Uniformly (constant rate (speed), no acceleration)

In order to pull the crate upwards, the helicopter has to provide a force equivalent to the weight of the crate keeping the helicopter on the ground.

The weight of the crate = The mass of the crate × The acceleration due gravity acting on the crate

The weight of the crate, $F_w$ ↓ = 250 kg × 9.81 m/s² = 2,452.5 N

The force the helicopter should provide to just lift the crate, $F_{(helicopter)}$ ↑ = The weight of the crate = 2,452.5 N

The net force, $F_{(net)}$ = $F_{(helicopter)}$ ↑ - $F_w$ ↓ = 2,452.5 N - 2,452.5 N = 0

The net force = 0.

when a metal ball is heated through 30°c,it volume becomes 1.0018cm^3 if the linear expansivity of the material of the ball is 2

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

The original volume of the metal sphere is approximately 1 cm³

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The temperature change of the metal ball, ΔT = 30°C = 30 K

The new volume of the metal ball, V₂ = 1.0018 cm³

The linear expansivity of the material ball, α = 2.0 × 10⁻⁵ K⁻¹

We have;

d₂ = d₁·(1 + α·ΔT)

Where;

d₁ = The original diameter of the metal ball

d₂ = The new diameter of the ball

From the volume of the ball, V₂, we have;

V₂ = 1.0018 cm³ = (4/3)×π×r₂³

Where;

r₂ = The new radius = d₂/2

∴ V₂ = 1.0018 cm³ = (4/3)×π×(d₂/2)³

∴ d₂ = ∛(2³ × 1.0018 cm³/((4/3) × π)) ≈ 1.241445 cm

d₁ = d₂/(1 + α·ΔT)

∴ d₁ ≈ 1.241445 cm/(1 + 2.0 × 10⁻⁵·K × 30 K) ≈ 1.24070058 cm

The original volume of the metal ball, V₁ = (4/3)×π×(d₁/2)³

∴ V₁ = (4/3)×π×(1.24070058/2)³ ≈ 0.99999902845 cm³ ≈ 1 cm³

The original volume of the metal sphere, V₁ ≈ 1 cm³.

A 6.8 KG object moves with a velocity of 8 M/S what’s it's kinetic energy?

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

Explanation:

KE = ½mv² = ½(6.8)8² = 217.6 J

round as appropriate because that result is way too much precision for the inputs provided. Arguably should be 200 J based on the single significant digit of the velocity.

A 5.00 g bullet traveling 355 m/s is stopped by lodging in the side of a building. The heat produced is shared between the build

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of bullet $m=5\ gm$

speed of bullet $v=355\ m/s$

bullet is stopped by building and heat produced is shared between building and bullet

Kinetic Energy of bullet is converted into Thermal energy

Kinetic Energy of bullet $K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

$K=0.5\times 5\times 10^{-3}\times (355)^2$

$K=315.06\ J$

So 315.06 J of Energy is converted in to thermal energy
