Answer:

A package is dropped from a helicopter moving upward at 15 m/s. If it takes 16.0 s before the package strikes the ground, how high above the ground was the package when it was released? (Disregard air resistance.)

Show step by step please.

Note: The answer is given it's should be 1000 m ??

This what i can up with so see what it is kid

Answer:

The right answer is (D) 340m

Explanation:

If the package is dropped from a helicopter moving upward and the air resistance is negligible, the only acting force in the package is the gravity force. Therefore you can consider this as a Vertical Projectile Motion problem.

The initial speed of the package V₀ is 15m/s.

The acceleration of the package G is 9.8m/s².

The initial hight is Y₀. Therefore:

Y(t)=Y₀+V₀·t-0.5·G·t²

But we know than T(10s)=0m

0m=Y₀+150m-490m

Y₀=340m

A energy storage system based on a flywheel (a rotating disk) can store a maximum of 4.0 MJ when the flywheel is rotating at 20,
mariarad [96]

Answer:

Moment of inertia of the flywheel, I=1.82\ kg-m^2          

Explanation:

Given that,

The maximum energy stored on  flywheel, E=4\ MJ=4\times 10^6\ J

Angular velocity of the flywheel, \omega=20000\ rev/s=2094.39\ rad/s

We need to find the moment of inertia of the flywheel. The energy of a flywheel in rotational kinematics is given by :

E=\dfrac{1}{2}I\omega^2

I is the moment of inertia of the flywheel

On rearranging we get :

I=\dfrac{2E}{\omega^2}

I=\dfrac{2\times 4\times 10^6}{(2094.39)^2}

I=1.82\ kg-m^2

So, the moment of inertia of the flywheel is I=1.82\ kg-m^2. Hence, this is the required solution.

Two pith balls hang side by side close to each other without touching as shown in the figure below. They are both neutral to beg
Mila [183]

a)

When a plastic rod is rubbed with wool, charging by friction occurs.

This is one of the three mechanisms of charging an object: in this particular case, as the rod is rubbed with the wool, electrons jump from the wool to the rod.

As a result, the plastic rod will remain with an excess of electrons (negative charge), while the wool will remain with a lack of electrons (positive charge).

However, the number of electrons gained by the rod is equal to the number of electrons given off by the wool: therefore, the total net charge of the system rod + cloth has not changed.

b)

When the rod touches sphere A, some electrons are transferred from the rod to the sphere (this method of charging is called charging by conduction).

Then, the sphere A will also remain negatively charged, as well as the plastic rod.

Later, the rod is brought close to sphere A without touching it: here, the electrons in the rod repel the electrons in the sphere (like charges repel each other), so the rod and the sphere will repel each other.

c)

Before part b), the negative charge on the plastic rod was equal to the positive charge on the wool.

After part b), the plastic rod has given off part of its electrons to sphere A. As a result, the negative charge on the plastic rod will be now less than the positive charge on the wool.

Therefore, the net charge of the rod + wool system will now be positive.

d)

The electrostatic force between two charged object is:

- Attractive if the charges on the objects have opposite sign

- Repulsive if the charges on the objects have same sign

Since sphere A is charged negatively, when it is brought close to sphere B, the electrons in sphere B will be attracted on the opposite side relative to sphere A, while the positive charges will migrate close to sphere A. Therefore, the two spheres will attract each other, since opposite charges attract each other.

e)

When the plastic rod (which is negatively charged) touches sphere B, some electrons are transferred to sphere B (charging by induction). As a result, charge B will also be negatively charged now, as it has an excess of electrons.

At the same time, sphere A is also negatively charged. Therefore, as like charges repel each other, this means that the two spheres will now repel each other.

f)

The net charge of the rod and the two spheres is negative.

In fact, the electrons given off by the rod to the two spheres were initially on the rod itself: this means that the total net charge of the rod + 2 spheres is equal to the net charge on the rod before the process.

Since the net charge on the rod before the process was negative, then the net charge of the system consisting of the rod + 2 spheres must be negative as well.

g)

When a glass rod is rubbed with silk, charging by friction occurs, similar to part a). However in this case, the glass rod gives off electrons to the silk: therefore, the glass rod remains positively charged.

Later, the glass rod touches sphere B: as a result, positive charge is transferred from the rod to sphere B, so sphere B will remain positively charged.

In the meantime, sphere A is negatively charged: since opposite charges attract each other, this means that now sphere A and sphere B will attract each other.

h)

When the two spheres are moved a bit further apart, the attractive force between them decreases a bit. In fact, the electrostatic force between two charged objects is given by

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1, q2 are the  charges on the two objects

r is the separation between the objects

As we can see, the force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance: therefore, if the separation between the spheres increases, the force will decrease.

If a rod attached to the approaching charge if the rod consists of "stiff" spring-like bonds for which atoms undergo small oscil
Hoochie [10]

Answer: hello options related to your question is missing attached below is the missing part of your question

answer: No charge of the length of the bonds expected because the rod did not touch the charge source ( option A )

Explanation:

When the Charge is first, Furthest away and second  and closest to the source charge. <em>The spring like bonds can be said to have No charge of the length  of the bonds expected because the rod did not touch the charge source </em><em>when Furthest away the bond with charge will be less effective </em>

2 Select the correct answer. Javed suffers from a severe food allergy. Which device should Javed always carry? A. inhaler B. epi
Slav-nsk [51]

The best answer would be:

B. Epi pen

Here is more about it:

An epi pen injects epinephrine into the body to counteract the effects of an allergic reaction. Epinephrine helps narrow blood vessels and open up the airways. This can be used for food allergies, insect bites, and some other allergens. It is very effective and immediately works, but it is short-lived, so seeking medical attention after is still needed.
