Answer

given,

mass of the astronaut = 66 kg

height of the lift = 15 m

acceleration = g/11 = 0.89 m/s²

a) the work done by helicopter

W = F× h

    = m (a+g)h

    = 66 × (9.8+0.89)15

  W =10583.1 J

b) work done by the gravity

W= mgh

W = - 66 × 9.8 × 15

W = -9702 J

c) Δ KE = net work done

  Δ KE = 10583.1 - 9702

  Δ KE = 881.1 J

d) speed

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2 = 881.1

v = \sqrt{\dfrac{2 \times 881.1}{66}}

v =5.17 m/s

What happens at the end of silence of the lambs?
sukhopar [10]
The Silence of the Lambs ends when Hannibal Lecter, from a payphone in the tropics, congratulates FBI Academy graduate Clarice Starling and gently warns her not to hunt him, ending the call by saying he had to go because he was having a friend for dinner, as he watched his hospital tormenter, Dr. Chilton, disembark from a plane. While that nervous laugh allowed movie goers to summon the courage to leave the theater and run to their cars, the original ending scripted by Tally gave no such quarter. When Lecter speaks to Starling, he compliments her outfit, which makes her realize he had watched from a distance. In the original ending, Lecter is cutting orange segments with a small paring knife, while he speaks to Clarice. As he hangs up the phone, the camera shot widens. We discover that he”s at a desk in a book lined office. There is the body of a bodyguard on the floor, and then we see Lecter is not alone. Chilton is trussed up in a chair across from him, the same method of restraints the doctor used on Lecter earlier in the movie. Lecter rises, slowly, a dreamy gleam in his eye, as he approaches his terrified victim, paring knife in hand. “Shall we begin?”
