A helicopter is ascending vertically. a passenger accidentally drops her wallet out the sides of the helicopter when it is 160 m

above the ground. if the wallet hits the ground 7s later, at what speed was the helicopter ascending at the moment that the passenger let go of the wallet?
(A) 11.4 m/s
(B) 7.7 m/s
(C) 57.2 m/s
(D) 68.6 m/s
(E) 56.0 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

Dante is leading a parade across the main street in front of city hall. Starting at city hall, he marches the parade 4 blocks ea

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

The correct option is A)

Displacement: 6.71 m, Direction: 63.4 degrees north of east

Explanation:

Given that Dante is leading a parade across the main street in front of city hall.

Let, Initial location of parade is 0i+0j

One block of city is one units on the XY- graph

Statement 1: Parade marches the parade 4 blocks east, then 3 blocks south

New location of parade is 4i-3j

Statement 2: The parade marches 1 block west and 9 blocks north and finally stops.

Final location of parade is (4i-3j)+(-1i+9j)=3i+6j

Displacement is given by

Displacement = (Final destination)-(Initial destination)

Displacement = (3i+6j)-(0i+0j)=3i+6j

Thus,

Magnitude of displacement = $\sqrt{3^{2}+6^{2}}$

= 6.71 m

Direction of displacement = $tan^{-1}(\frac{Y}{X} )$

= $tan^{-1}(\frac{6}{3} )$

= 63.43 NE

Therefore, the correct option is A) Displacement: 6.71 m, Direction: 63.4 degrees north of east

Why a drop of spirit on the hand feels colder than a drop of water at the same temperature

brilliants [131]

Answer:

This is because spirit has a lower boiling point when compared to water

Explanation:

spirit has a lower boiling point when compared to water which means it has the capacity to pull more heat from your hand and also it can do this very fast. This is why our hand feels colder.

A sky diver with a mass of 70kg jumps from an aircraft. The aerodynamic drag force acting on the sky diver is known to be Fd=kV^

xeze [42]

Answer:

$v_{max}=52.38\frac{m}{s}$

$v_{100}=33.81$

Explanation:

the maximum speed is reached when the drag force and the weight are at equilibrium, therefore:

$\sum{F}=0=F_d-W$

$F_d=W$

$kv_{max}^2=m*g$

$v_{max}=\sqrt{\frac{m*g}{k}} =\sqrt{\frac{70*9.8}{0.25}}=52.38\frac{m}{s}$

To calculate the velocity after 100 meters, we can no longer assume equilibrium, therefore:

$\sum{F}=ma=W-F_d$

$ma=W-F_d$

$ma=mg-kv_{100}^2$

$a=g-\frac{kv_{100}^2}{m}$ (1)

consider the next equation of motion:

$a = \frac{(v_{x}-v_0)^2}{2x}$

If assuming initial velocity=0:

$a = \frac{v_{100}^2}{2x}$ (2)

joining (1) and (2):

$\frac{v_{100}^2}{2x}=g-\frac{kv_{100}^2}{m}$

$\frac{v_{100}^2}{2x}+\frac{kv_{100}^2}{m}=g$

$v_{100}^2(\frac{1}{2x}+\frac{k}{m})=g$

$v_{100}^2=\frac{g}{(\frac{1}{2x}+\frac{k}{m})}$

$v_{100}=\sqrt{\frac{g}{(\frac{1}{2x}+\frac{k}{m})}}$ (3)

$v_{100}=\sqrt{\frac{9.8}{(\frac{1}{2*100}+\frac{0.25}{70})}}$

$v_{100}=\sqrt{\frac{9.8}{(\frac{1}{200}+\frac{1}{280})}}$

$v_{100}=\sqrt{\frac{9.8}{(\frac{3}{350})}}$

$v_{100}=\sqrt{1,143.3}$

$v_{100}=33.81$

To plot velocity as a function of distance, just plot equation (3).

To plot velocity as a function of time, you have to consider the next equation of motion:

$v = v_0 +at$

as stated before, the initial velocity is 0:

$v =at$ (4)

joining (1) and (4) and reducing you will get:

$\frac{kt}{m}v^2+v-gt=0$

solving for v:

$v=\frac{ \sqrt{1+\frac{4gk}{m}t^2}-1}{\frac{2kt}{m} }$
