Answer:
The mechanical energy of the helicopter is
.
Explanation:
It is given that,
Mass of the helicopter, m = 3250 kg
Speed of the helicopter, v = 56.9 m/s
Position of the helicopter, h = 185 m
The energy possessed by an object due to its motion is called its kinetic energy. It is given by :


The energy possessed by an object due to its position is called its potential energy. It is given by :


The sum of kinetic and potential energy is called mechanical energy of the system. It is given by :


or

So, the mechanical energy of the helicopter is
. Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer: It takes the stone 7seconds in air and 5seconds in water
Explanation: complete question: How long did the stone fall in air and how long did it fall in the water?
total distance = sum of velocity * time for both legs of the journey;
let the time taken in air be t
hence time taken in water is 12-t
127 = 16*t + 3(12-t)
127 = 16t + 36 - 3t
127 - 36 = 16t - 3t
91 = 13t
t = 91/13 = 7 seconds
Hence time taken in air = 7 seconds
time taken in water is 12 - 7 = 5 seconds
No. We aren't the same age as the universe.
