A single-engine helicopter has two rotors; a main rotor and a tail rotor. The main rotor has a diameter of 14.4 m and rotates at

the rate of 450 rev/min while the tail rotor with a diameter of 1.6 m rotates at 4100 rev/min. What are the speeds, in m/s, of the tips of each rotor? main rotor speed m/s tail rotor speed m/s

Answer:

339.12 m/s, 343.31 m/s

Explanation:

For main rotor

diameter, d = 14.4 m

radius, r = 7.2 m

f = 450 rev/min = 450 / 60 = 7.5 rps

Angular speed, ω = 2 x π x f = 2 x 3.14 x 7.5 = 47.1 rad/s

linear speed, v = r x ω = 7.2 x 47.1 = 339.12 m/s

For tail rotor

diameter, d = 1.6 m

radius, r = 0.8 m

f = 4100 rev/min = 4100 / 60 = 68.33 rps

Angular speed, ω = 2 x π x f = 2 x 3.14 x 68.33 = 429.13 rad/s

linear speed, v = r x ω = 0.8 x 429.13 = 343.31 m/s

Explain why materials such as plastic foam, feathers, and fur are poor conductors of heat.
Firlakuza [10]
The atoms of some materials have no free electrons in their outer orbits. These electrons are busy doing other jobs, like being shared in the orbits of two adjacent atoms. They are so closely held that it is very difficult to pull them away. Most compounds of carbon and hydrogen are like this. 

<span>Plastics, whose molecules are made from long combinations of carbon and hydrogen atoms, have few or no free electrons. This means that plastics are poor conductors of electricity (and they are also poor conductors of heat). hope that helped.</span>

Why does a projectile fired along a horizontal not follow a straight path?​
Stella [2.4K]

Answer: A projectile which is fired horizontally is being constantly acted upon by acceleration due to gravity, acting vertically downwards. Hence, it does not follow a straight line path. Also Why a projectile fixed along the horizontal not follow a straight line path? Because the projectile fired horizontally is constantly acts upon by acceleration due to gravity acting vertically downwards.

Explanation:

Hope this helped :)
