Answer:
a)
b)
Explanation:
Given:
- upward acceleration of the helicopter,
- time after the takeoff after which the engine is shut off,
a)
<u>Maximum height reached by the helicopter:</u>
using the equation of motion,
where:
u = initial velocity of the helicopter = 0 (took-off from ground)
t = time of observation
b)
- time after which Austin Powers deploys parachute(time of free fall),
- acceleration after deploying the parachute,
<u>height fallen freely by Austin:</u>
where:
initial velocity of fall at the top = 0 (begins from the max height where the system is momentarily at rest)
time of free fall
<u>Velocity just before opening the parachute:</u>
<u>Time taken by the helicopter to fall:</u>
where:
initial velocity of the helicopter just before it begins falling freely = 0
time taken by the helicopter to fall on ground
height from where it falls = 250 m
now,
From the above time 7 seconds are taken for free fall and the remaining time to fall with parachute.
<u>remaining time,</u>
<u>Now the height fallen in the remaining time using parachute:</u>
<u>Now the height of Austin above the ground when the helicopter crashed on the ground:</u>
