(A) 11.4 m/s
(B) 7.7 m/s
(C) 57.2 m/s
(D) 68.6 m/s

Answer:

(E)56.0 m/s

Explanation:

Height =h=-160 m

Because the wallet moving in downward direction

Time=t=7 s

Final speed of wallet=v=0

We have to find the speed of helicopter ascending at the moment when the passenger let go of the wallet.

$v^2-u^2=2gh$

Where $g=9.8 m/s^2$

Substitute the values

$0-u^2=2(-160)\times 9.8$

$u^2=3136$

$u=\sqrt{3136}=56m/s$

Option (E) is true

Bad White [126]

(A) $4.2\cdot 10^5 J$

The energy stored by the system is given by

$E=Pt$

where

P is the power provided

t is the time elapsed

In this case, we have

P = 60 kW = 60,000 W is the power

t = 7 is the time

Therefore, the energy stored by the system is

$E=(60,000 W)(7 s)=4.2\cdot 10^5 J$

(B) 4830 rad/s

The rotational energy of the wheel is given by

$E=\frac{1}{2}I \omega^2$ (1)

where

$I$ is the moment of inertia

$\omega$ is the angular velocity

The moment of inertia of the wheel is

$I=\frac{1}{2}MR^2=\frac{1}{2}(5 kg)(0.12 m)^2=0.036 kg m^2$

where M is the mass and R the radius of the wheel.

We also know that the energy provided is

$E=4.2\cdot 10^5 J$

So we can rearrange eq.(1) to find the angular velocity:

$\omega=\sqrt{\frac{2E}{I}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(4.2\cdot 10^5 J)}{0.036 kg m^2}}=4830 rad/s$

(C) $2.8\cdot 10^6 m/s^2$

The centripetal acceleration of a point on the edge is given by

$a=\omega^2 R$

where

$\omega=4830 rad/s$ is the angular velocity

R = 0.12 m is the radius of the wheel

Substituting, we find

$a=(4830 rad/s)^2 (0.12 m)=2.8\cdot 10^6 m/s^2$

A 55 kg cheerleader uses an oil-filled hydraulic lift to hold four 110 kg football players at a height of 1.0 m. If her piston i

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

$D = 55.2 cm$

Explanation:

As we know that the total mass of the all four players is given as

$M = 4\times 110$

$M = 440 kg$

diameter of the piston of cheer leader is given as

$d_1 = 16 cm$

are of cross-section is given as

$A_1 = \pi r^2$

$A_1 = \pi(0.08)^2 = 0.02 m^2$

mass of the cheer leader is given as

m = 55 kg

so the pressure due to cheer leader is given as

$P_{in} = \frac{mg}{A_1}$

$P_{in} = \frac{55 \times 9.81}{0.02}$

$P_{in} = 26835 Pa$

Now on the other side pressure must be same

so we have

$\frac{Mg}{A} + \rho gH = P_{in}$

$\frac{440 \times 9.8}{A} + (900)(9.8)(1) = 26835$

$A = 0.24 m^2$

$\pi r^2 = 0.24$

$r = 0.276 m$

so diameter on the other side is given as

$D = 2 r$

$D = 55.2 cm$

April stands on a flat surface . If she has a mass of 72 what is the nirmal force acting on her

gayaneshka [121]

The normal force acting on April as she stands on a flat surface is 705.6 N.

Normal force of the girl

Fₙ = mg

where;

Fₙ is the normal force of the girl
m is mass of the girl
g is acceleration due to gravity

Fₙ = 72 x 9.8

Fₙ = 705.6 N

Thus, the normal force acting on April as she stands on a flat surface is 705.6 N.
