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

An ant carries a morsel of food 4.26 meters along a straight path to his nest. He then turns around and follows the path back to
Basile [38]
The displacement is zero. The most important concept to understand is the difference between displacement and total distance traveled. Total distance traveled would be tracking the length of the entire path the ant walked for the whole time (4.26m x 2). Displacement is how far from a designated origin (here, the food source) the ant ended up at the end of the time. Mathematically, the ant walked 4.26m from food source to nest (+4.26m) and then walked from the nest to food source (-4.26m), so the net displacement is [+4.26] + [-4.26] = 0m.

a car traveling at 24 m/s starts to decelerate steadily. It comes to a complete stop in 6 seconds what is its acceleration?
Irina18 [472]
We can solve for the acceleration by using a kinematic equation. First we should identify what we know so we can choose the  correct equation.

We are given an original velocity of 24 m/s, a final velocity of 0 m/s, and a time  of 6 s. We and looking for acceleration (a) in m/s^2.

The following equation has everything we need:

v_f=v_i + at

So plug in the known values and solve for a:

0 = 24 + 6a

-24 = 6a

a = -4 m/s^2
