An attack helicopter is equipped with a 20- mm cannon that fires 87 g shells in the forward direction with a muzzle speed of 853

m/s. The fully loaded helicopter has a mass of 4410 kg. A burst of 176 shells is fired in a 2.93 s interval. What is the resulting average force on the helicopter?

Answer:

4457.7 N

Explanation:

87g = 0.087kg

v = 853m/s

t = 2.93 s

total mass hitting = m = 0.087*176 = 15.32 kg

net momentum = mv = 15.32*853 = 13061 kg.m/s

as we know the rate of change of momentum is the average force of impact,

F_avg = $\frac{mv}{t}$ = $\frac{13061}{2.93}$ = 4457.7 kg.m/s^2 = 4457.7 N

Answer

given,

mass of the shell = 87 g = 0.087 Kg

speed of the muzzle = 853 m/s

mass of the helicopter = 4410 kg

A burst of 176 shell fired in 2.93 s

resulting average force = ?

momentum of the shell = m v

= 0.087 x 853

= 74.21 kgm/s

momentum of 176 shell is = 176 p

= 176 x 74.21

= 13060.96

momentum of helicopter = - 13060.96 kgm/s

amount of speed reduce a = $\dfrac{13060.96}{M}$

a= $\dfrac{13060.96}{4410}$

a = 2.96 m/s²

velocity = \dfrac{2.96}{2.93}

v = 1.01 m/s

Why can’t solids flow

Annette [7]

Answer:

basically they have too much mass in them

Explanation:

They are held tightly together by strong forces of attraction. They are held in fixed positions but they do vibrate. Because the particles don't move, solids have a definite shape and volume, and can't flow. Because the particles are already packed closely together, solids can't easily be compressed.

In which changes of state do atoms lose energy

Anika [276]

Yeah, it's every state. Atoms need a certain quanta of energy to jump to each state of energy, and therefore change state depending on how much energy is absorbed and/or released. This applies to all states of matter.

A 1.30-m string of weight 0.0125 N is tied to the ceiling at its upper end, and the lower end supports a weight W. Neglect the v

atroni [7]

Answer:

1. t = 0.0819s

2. W = 0.25N

3. n = 36

4. y(x , t)= Acos[172x + 2730t]

Explanation:

1) The given equation is

$y(x, t) = Acos(kx -wt)$

The relationship between velocity and propagation constant is

$v = \frac{\omega}{k}=\frac{2730rad/sec}{172rad/m}\\\\$

v = 15.87m/s

Time taken, $t = \frac{\lambda}{v}$

$= \frac{1.3}{15.87}\\\\=0.0819 sec$

t = 0.0819s

2)

The velocity of transverse wave is given by

$v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}$

$v = \sqrt{\frac{W}{\frac{m}{\lambda}}}$

mass of string is calculated thus

mg = 0.0125N

$m = \frac{0.0125N}{9.8N/s}$

m = 0.00128kg

$\omega = \frac{v^2m}{\lambda}$

$\omega = \frac{(15.87^2)(0.00128)}{1.30}$

$\omega =$ 0.25N

3)

The propagation constant k is

$k=\frac{2\pi}{\lambda}$

hence

$\lambda = \frac{2\pi}{k}\\\\\lambda = \frac{2 \times 3.142}{172}$

$\lambda =$ 0.036 m

No of wavelengths, n is

$n = \frac{L}{\lambda}\\\\n = \frac{1.30m}{0.036m}\\$

n = 36

4)

The equation of wave travelling down the string is

$y(x, t)=Acos[kx -wt]\\\\becomes\\\\y(x , t)= Acos[(172 rad.m)x + (2730 rad.s)t]$

$without, unit\\\\y(x , t)= Acos[172x + 2730t]$

An electron in an unknown energy level of a hydrogen atom transitions to the n=2 level and emits a photon with wavelength 410 nm

lyudmila [28]

Answer:

The initial energy level = 6

Explanation:

Photon wavelength is proportional to energy. The wavelength of emitted photons is related to the energy levels of the atom as given by the Rydberg formula:

ₕ₁₂

(1/λ) = Rₕ [(1/n₂²) − (1/n₁²)]

where n₂ = final energy level = 2

n₁ = initial energy level = ?

Rₕ = Rydberg's constant = 1.097 × 10⁷ m⁻¹

λ = wavelength = 410 nm = 410 × 10⁻⁹ m

1/(410 × 10⁻⁹) = (1.097 × 10⁷) [(1/2²) − (1/n₁²)]

0.223 = [(1/4) − (1/n₁²)]

(1/n₁²) = 0.02778

n₁² = 1/0.02778 = 36

n₁ = 6.
