V = speed of helicopter

v = speed of wind

V - v = speed of helicopter against the wind

d = distance traveled against the wind = 168 mi

t = time of travel = 2 h

using the equation

speed = distance/time

V - v = d/t

V - v = 168/2

V - v = 84

v = V - 84 eq-1

V + v = speed of helicopter with the wind

D = distance traveled with the wind = 252 mi

t = time of travel = 2 h

using the equation

speed = distance/time

V + v = D/t

V + v = 252/2

V + v = 126

using eq-1

V + V - 84 = 126

V = 105 mph

Let v_h be the speed of the helicopter in still air. Let v_w be the speed of the wind. Then, from the given information,

(v_h-v_w)2=168\\ (v_h+v_w)2=252\\

Adding the above 2 equations,

4v_h=168+252\\ 4v_h=420\\ v_h=105

The speed of the helicopter in still air 105 \;mi/hour

80N force ;
lutik1710 [3]

The power of the engine is 320 W.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Power may be defined as the rate of doing work (or) work done per unit time. One unit of energy is used to do the one unit of work.

                          Power = Work done / Time taken

Given, Force = 80 N,    height = 5 m , final velocity = 4 m/s

To calculate the power, we must know the time taken.

To find the time, use the distance and speed formula which is given by

                              Time = Distance / speed

Here distance = 5 m and speed = 4 m/s

                              Time = 5 / 4 = 1.25 s.

Now,          Power = work done / time

                              = (F * d) / t  = (80 * 5) / 1.25

                  Power = 320 W.

The standard unit of power is watt (W) which is joule per second.

A projectile is launched into the air with the initial speed of vi = 40 m/s at a launch angle of 20 degrees above the horizontal
Sphinxa [80]

The range of the projectile is 188 m

Explanation:

The motion of the arrow in this problem is a projectile motion, so it follows a parabolic path which consists of two independent motions:  

- A uniform motion (constant velocity) along the horizontal direction  

- An accelerated motion with constant acceleration (acceleration of gravity) in the vertical direction  

The path of a projectile is the combination of these two motions: see figure in attachment.

In order to find the horizontal range of the projectile, we just need to calculate the horizontal distance travelled.

We have:

t = 5.0 s (time of fligth of the projectile)

and the horizontal velocity is constant, and it is given by

v_x = v_i cos \theta

where

v_i = 40 m/s is the initial velocity

\theta=20^{\circ} is the angle of projection

Substituting,

v_x = (40)(cos 20^{\circ})=37.6 m/s

And therefore, the range of the projectile is:

d=v_x t = (37.6)(5.0)=188 m

Rahul sits in a chair reading a book. Which force is equal to the force Rahul exerts on Earth?
CaHeK987 [17]
In fact, the force Rahul exerts on Earth corresponds to the force of gravity. But Rahul's weight is, in fact, the force of gravity exerted by the Earth on Rahul, and these two forces correspond to the action-reaction pair of Newton's third law, which states that the two forces are equal.
