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

How much heat energy is produced by 0.5 Wh of electrical energy ?
babymother [125]
1.7 Btu

1 watt = 3.41214 Btu/h

1watt * 1h = 3.41214 Btu/h * h

1 = 3.41214 Btu/ (watt*h)/

0.5 watt * h = 0.5 watt*h * 3.41214 Btu/(watt*h) = 1.706 Btu

A toy rocket is fired vertically into the air from the ground at an initial velocity of 80 feet per second. Find the time it wil
miskamm [114]

Answer: 16.3 seconds

Explanation: Given that the

Initial velocity U = 80 ft/s

Let's first calculate the maximum height reached by using third equation of motion.

V^2 = U^2 - 2gH

Where V = final velocity and H = maximum height.

Since the toy is moving against the gravity, g will be negative.

At maximum height, V = 0

0 = 80^2 - 2 × 9.81 × H

6400 = 19.62H

H = 6400/19.62

H = 326.2

Let's us second equation of motion to find time.

H = Ut - 1/2gt^2

Let assume that the ball is dropped from the maximum height. Then,

U = 0. The equation will be reduced to

H = 1/2gt^2

326.2 = 1/2 × 9.81 × t^2

326.2 = 4.905t^2

t^2 = 326.2/4.905

t = sqrt( 66.5 )

t = 8.15 seconds

The time it will take for the rocket to return to ground level will be 2t.

That is, 2 × 8.15 = 16.3 seconds

What element exists in almost every compound in your body and other living things
Aleks [24]
Carbon is one of the main building blocks of life. This is what carbon dating is so effective, because scientists are able to tell the approximate age of something that was once alive given how much carbon is still in the animal.
