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

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

B, C and E

Explanation:

The unit of resistance in the international system is the Ohm, the equation that describes the resistance is:

R=p\frac{l}{S} \\

Where (l) is for lenght of the wire, (S) is the area and (p) its the constant associated to the conductor.

It's related by the Ohm's Law:

R=\frac{V}{I}

Why is a motorcycle helmet padded?
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
Motorcycle helmets are padded to give the rider the protection they require in case of accidents. Any hit to the head is absorbed by the padding and the rider is saved from any kind of fatal injury. Whenever a motorcycle rider falls from his motorcycle, there is every possibility that the head will hit the ground first. If the padding was not there, then the rider would get the direct impact of hitting. As most of the pressure of the hit gets absorbed by the inner padding of the helmet, so the rider is saved from the fatal accident. It does not mean that the driver will not have minor injuries but by all chance his life would be saved.

6. What are 3 different evidences of evolution? How is each form used to provide evidence of evolution?
Cloud [144]

Answer:

Divergent - This type of evolution often occurs when closely related species diversify to new habitats. On a large scale, divergent evolution is responsible for the creation of the current diversity of life on earth from the first living cells. On a smaller scale, it is responsible for the evolution of humans and apes from a common primate ancestor.

Convergent - Convergent evolution causes difficulties in fields of study such as comparative anatomy. Convergent evolution takes place when species of different ancestry begin to share analogous traits because of a shared environment or other selection pressure. For example, whales and fish have some similar characteristics since both had to evolve methods of moving through the same medium: water.

Parallel evolution - Parallel evolution occurs when two species evolve independently of each other, maintaining the same level of similarity. Parallel evolution usually occurs between unrelated species that do not occupy the same or similar niches in a given habitat.
