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

A 52.0-kg person, running horizontally with a velocity of +3.63 m/s, jumps onto a 15.2-kg sled that is initially at rest. (a) Ig
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

The coefficient of kinetic friction between the sled and the snow is 0.0134

Explanation:

Given that:

M = mass of person = 52 kg

m = mass of sled = 15.2 kg

U = initial velocity of person = 3.63 m/s

u = initial velocity of sled = 0 m/s

After collision, the person and the sled would move with the same velocity V.

a) According to law of momentum conservation:

Total momentum before collision = Total momentum after collision

MU + mu = (M + m)V

V=\frac{MU+mu}{M+m}

Substituting values:

V=\frac{MU+mu}{M+m}=\frac{52(3.63)+15.2(0)}{52+15.2} =2.81m/s

The velocity of the sled and person as they move away is 2.81 m/s

b) acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

d = 30 m

Using the formula:

V^2=2\mu(gd)\\\mu=\frac{V^2}{2gd} \\\mu=\frac{2.81^2}{2*9.8*30} =0.0134

The coefficient of kinetic friction between the sled and the snow is 0.0134

Consider a sphere and a cylinder of equal volume made of copper. Both the sphere and the cylinder are initially at the same temp
zepelin [54]

Answer: The cylinder

Explanation:

Among all other solid shapes, the sphere has the smallest area for a given volume.

By experiment, the ratio of the radius of a sphere to a cylinder of equal volume is less than 1.

Recall;

That the Rate of transfer of convective heat (Q) = h × A ×change in temperature.

Where ,

h= the co efficient of convective heat transfer

A= the cross sectional area.

As such, since the sphere has a smaller surface area relative to the cylinder, the sphere transfers heat slower than the cylinder.

Therefore, if the sphere and cylinder are exposed to convection in the same environment, then, the cylinder cools faster.

PS; the more the Area, the higher the rate of heat transfer and vice versa.

A 20 metric ton train moves toward the south at 50 m/s. At what speed must it travel to have four times its original momentum
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

200 m/s

Explanation:

as momentum is a product of mass and speed, and mass is not changing, four times the speed will result in four times the momentum.

p = mv

4p = m(4v)
