A small mailbag is released from a helicopter that is descending steadily at 3 m/s.
mario62 [17]

<u>Answer:</u>

a) Speed of mailbag after 3 seconds = 32.4 m/s

b) Package is 44.1 meter below helicopter

c) If the helicopter was rising steadily at 3.00 m/s

       Speed of mailbag after 3 seconds = 26.4 m/s

       Package is 44.1 meter below helicopter

<u>Explanation:</u>

a)  We have equation of motion, v = u + at, where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time taken.

   Initial velocity = 3 m/s, acceleration = 9.8 m/s^2 and time = 3 seconds.

   v = 3+9.8*3 = 32.4 m/s

  Speed of mailbag after 3 seconds = 32.4 m/s

b) We have equation of motion , s= ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2, s is the displacement, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

 Velocity of helicopter = 3 m/s, time taken = 3 seconds, acceleration = 0 m/s^2.

    s= 3*3+\frac{1}{2} *0*3^2\\ \\ s=9m

    Distance traveled by helicopter = 9 meter.

 Velocity of package = 3 m/s, time taken = 3 seconds, acceleration = 9.8 m/s^2.

  s= 3*3+\frac{1}{2} *9.8*3^2\\ \\ s= 53.1m

  Distance traveled by package  = 53.1 meter.

So package is (53.1-9)meter below helicopter = 44.1 m

c) Initial velocity = -3 m/s, acceleration = 9.8 m/s^2 and time = 3 seconds.

  v = -3+9.8*3 = 26.4 m/s

  Speed of mailbag after 3 seconds = 26.4 m/s

 Velocity of helicopter = -3 m/s, time taken = 3 seconds, acceleration = 0 m/s^2.

    s= -3*3+\frac{1}{2} *0*3^2\\ \\ s=-9m

    Distance traveled by helicopter = 9 meter.

 Velocity of package = -3 m/s, time taken = 3 seconds, acceleration = 9.8 m/s^2.

  s= -3*3+\frac{1}{2} *9.8*3^2\\ \\ s= 35.1m

  Distance traveled by package  = 35.1 meter.

So package is (35.1+9)meter below helicopter = 44.1 m

A river 1.00 mile wide flows with a constant speed of 1.00 mph. A man can row a boat at 2.00 mph. He crosses the river in a dire
gladu [14]

To solve this problem we will apply the geometric concepts of displacement according to the description given. Taking into account that there is an initial displacement towards the North and then towards the west, therefore the speed would be:

V_T^2=v_N^2-v_W^2

V_T = \sqrt{v_N^2-v_W^2}

Travel north 2mph and west to 1mph, then,

V_T = \sqrt{2^2-1^2}

V_T = \sqrt{3}

The route is done exactly the same to the south and east, so make this route twice, from the definition of speed we have to

v= \frac{\Delta x}{t}

t = \frac{\Delta x}{v}

t = \frac{2*(1mile)}{\sqrt{3}mph}

t = 1.15hour

Therefore the total travel time for the man is 1.15hour.

A transverse wave on a string is described by the wave function
svp [43]

The period of the transverse wave from what we have here is 0.5

<h3>How to find the period of the transverse wave</h3>

The period of a wave can be defined as the time that it would take for the wave to complete one complete vibrational cycle.

The formula with which to get the period is

w = 4π

where w = 4 x 22/7

2π/T = 4π

6.2857/T = 12.57

From here we would have to cross multiply

6.2857 = 12.57T

divide through by 12.57

6.2857/12.57 = T

0.500 = T

Hence we can conclude that the value of T that can determine the period based on the question is 0.500.

A current of 5 A is flowing in a 20 mH inductor. The energy stored in the magnetic field of this inductor is:_______
Kipish [7]

Answer:

C. 0.25J

Explanation:

Energy stored in the magnetic field of the inductor is expressed as E = 1/2LI² where;

L is the inductance

I is the current flowing in the inductor

Given parameters

L = 20mH = 20×10^-3H

I = 5A

Required

Energy stored in the magnetic field.

E = 1/2 × 20×10^-3 × 5²

E = 1/2 × 20×10^-3 × 25

E = 10×10^-3 × 25

E = 0.01 × 25

E = 0.25Joules.

Hence the energy stored in the magnetic field of this inductor is 0.25Joules
