Answer:

The helicopter uses 35 gallons to fly for 5 hours.

Explanation:

The amount of gas that a helicopter uses for flying varies directly proportional to the number of hours spent flying.

g ∝ T

where g represents amount of gas and T time of flight.

Then,

\therefore \frac{g_1}{g_2}=\frac{T_1}{T_2}

The helicopter files 4 hours and uses 28 gallons of fuel.

Here, g₁= 28 gallons, T₁=4 hours

g₂=?, T₂=5 hours.

\therefore \frac{g_1}{g_2}=\frac{T_1}{T_2}

\Rightarrow \frac{28}{g_2}=\frac{4}{5}

⇒28×5= g₂×4

⇒ g₂×4=28×5

\Rightarrow g_2=\frac{28\times 5}{4}

\Rightarrow g_2=35 gallons

The helicopter uses 35 gallons to fly for 5 hours.

A kite 100 ft above the ground moves horizontally at a speed of 11 ft/s. At what rate is the angle (in radians) between the stri
frutty [35]

Answer:

-2.26×10^-4 radians

Explanation:

The solution involves a right angle triangle

Length is z while the horizontal is the height x

X^2+ 100^2=z^2

Taking the derivatives

2x(dx/dt)=Z^2(dz/dt)

Specific moments = Z= 200 ,X= 100sqrt3 and dx/dt= 11

dz/dt= 1100sqrt3/200 = 9.53

Sin a= 100/a

Taking derivatives in terms of t

Cos a(da/dt)=100/z^2 dz/dt

a= 30°

Cos (30°)da/dt= (-100/40000×9.5)

a= -2.26×10^-4radians

What causes the rider on a roller coaster to experience the + or - g’s if gravity always remains the same on earth
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

Yes both = and - g can be felt by a rider in a roller coaster.

Explanation:

It is crucial to understand how we feel gravity in this case.

We humans have no sensory organs to directly detect magnitude and direction like some birds and other creatures, but then how do we we feel gravity?

When we stand on our feet we feel our weight due to the normal reaction of floor on our feet trying to keep us stand and our weight trying to crush us down. In an elevator we feel difference in our weight (difference magnitudes of gravity) but actually we are feeling the differences in normal reactions under different accelerations of the elevator.

In the case of roller coaster you will feel +g as you  sit on a chair in it, but will feel -g when you are in upside down position as roller coaster move.

When you are seated you will feel the normal reaction of seat on you giving you the feeling +g and the support of the buckles to stay in the roller coaster when you are upside down will give you the -g feeling.

<u>This is just the physics approach</u>, a biological approach can be given in association with sensors relating to ears.

How do the units of work and power compare?
ki77a [65]

Answer:

Option (d) is correct.

Explanation:

Work done is given by :

W = Fd, where F is force and d is displacement

Unit of work done :

The SI unit of force is Newton (N) and that of displacement is meter (m). So, the unit of work done is N-m. It is call Joule. It means that the unit of work done is Joule.

Power is given by rate at which the work is done. It is given by :

P = W/t, W is work done and t is time

Unit of power:

Unit of work is Joule (J) and that of time is second (s). It means that the unit of power is Watt and it is equal to Joule/second

Hence, the correct option is (d) "The unit for work is a joule. The unit for power is a watt, which is a joule per second".
