A helicopter accelerates vertically from the ground from rest at 2 m/s2. 3 s after the helicopter leaves the ground a mailbag is

dropped from the helicopter. What is the speed of the mailbag just before it hits the ground? (The helicopter is moving when the bag is dropped.)

Answer:

The velocity of the mailbag just before it hits the ground is 14.57 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Acceleration = 2 m/s

Time = 3 sec

We need to calculate the velocity of mailbag

Using equation of motion

v=u+at

Put the value into the formula

v=0+2\times3

v = 6 m/s

We need to calculate the height at which the mailbag dropped

Using equation of motion

H=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

Put the value into the formula

H=0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times2\times(3)^2

H=9\ m

We need to calculate the velocity of the mailbag just before it hits the ground

Using equation of motion

v^2= u^2+2gh

v=\sqrt{u^2+2gh}

Put the value into the formula

v=\sqrt{6^2+2\times9.8\times9}

v=14.57\ m/s

Hence, The velocity of the mailbag just before it hits the ground is 14.57 m/s.

The maximum force that the athlete exerts on the bag is NEGATIVE 1,500 N and in the OPPOSITE DIRECTION of the force that the bag exerts on the athlete.

<h3>Newton's third law of motion</h3>

Newton's third law of motion states action and reaction are equal and opposite. That is the force applied to an object is equal in magnitude to force experienced by the object but in opposite direction.

From the given question, when the bag exert a certain on the athlete, the athlete also exerts similar force to the bag but in opposite direction.

Thus, the complete sentence is as follows;

The maximum force that the athlete exerts on the bag is NEGATIVE 1,500 N and in the OPPOSITE DIRECTION of the force that the bag exerts on the athlete.

Inessa [10]

Answer:

Once the fridge is moving you are still applying the same push force but now the opposing friction (now kinetic) force is less.

A scientist compares two samples of white powder. One powder was present at the beginning of an experiment. The other powder was
Jet001 [13]
Density of powder 1 = 0.5 g / 45 cm^3 = 1/90 g/cm^3
Density of powder 2 = 1.3 g / 65 cm^3 = 1/50 g/cm^3

Therefore the densities of the two powders are different, hence chemical reaction has occurred.

(note: none of the other choices make sense.  In fact, a different density does not necessarily indicate a chemical change, see paragraph below).

Density of powders are not definitive unless they are each of the same size and texture.  For example, granular sugar, rock sugar, and icing sugar all have different densities.  I would conclude that this experiment does not lend to a reliable answer.

Answer:

b

Explanation:

it loses energy due to friction because if it hits objects the objects slow it down and which causes it to start slowing down
