Answer:

h = 250 m

Explanation:

Given that,

The helicopter exerts 6480 N of force on the water while rising high enough to fly over a mountain.

The helicopter does $1.62\times 10^6\ J$ of work on the water lifting it.

We need to find how high does it lift the water. Work done is given by :

$W=Fh\\\\h=\dfrac{W}{F}\\\\h=\dfrac{1.62\times 10^6}{6480}\\\\h=250\ m$

So, it can lift the water to a height of 250 m.

Earthquakes are caused by movement of the Earth's crust. What causes the Earth's crust to move?

fomenos

Answer:

Explanation:

The heat from radioactive processes within the planet's interior causes the plates to move, sometimes toward and sometimes away from each other. This movement is called plate motion, or a tectonic shift.

The P value for the given data set is 25127. For finding P value, we have to must find the Z value.

<h3>How to get the z scores?</h3>

If we've got a normal distribution, then we can convert it to standard normal distribution and its values will give us the z score.

The Z value is calculated as;

$Z = \dfrac{X - \mu}{\sigma})$

Z = (X - μ) / σ

Z = (4.007 - 3.6) / 0.607

Z = 0.67051

The P value for the given data set is 25127.

A family car has a mass of 1400 kg. In an accident it hits a wall and goes from a speed of 27 m/s to a standstill in 1. 5 second

madreJ [45]

The force involved is = 25200 Newton

Given the values in the questions,

Mass = 1400 kg

Speed or velocity of the car = 27 m/s

Time is given = 1.5 seconds

According to the formula of force,

⇒ Force = Mass x Acceleration

⇒ Force = 1400 x Acceleration ----- equation 1

Now to calculate the value of acceleration we will use,

⇒ Acceleration = (Velocity or Speed) / Time

⇒ Acceleration = 27 / 1.5

⇒ Acceleration = 18 m/ $s^{2}$

Putting the value of acceleration in equation 1,

⇒ Force = 1400 x 18

⇒ Force = 25200 Newton

Therefore, the force involved is = 25200 Newton

The traffic on the freeway is moving at a constant speed of 24 m/sm/s. What distance does the traffic travel while the car is mo

ExtremeBDS [4]

Incomplete question as there is so much information is missing.The complete question is here

A car sits on an entrance ramp to a freeway, waiting for a break in the traffic. Then the driver accelerates with constant acceleration along the ramp and onto the freeway. The car starts from rest, moves in a straight line, and has a speed of 24 m/s (54 mi/h) when it reaches the end of the 120-m-long ramp. The traffic on the freeway is moving at a constant speed of 24 m/s. What distance does the traffic travel while the car is moving the length of the ramp?

Answer:

Distance traveled=240 m

Explanation:

Given data

Initial velocity of car v₀=0 m/s

Final velocity of car vf=24 m/s

Distance traveled by car S=120 m

To find

Distance does the traffic travel

Solution

To find the distance first we need to find time, for time first we need acceleration

$(V_{f})^{2}=(V_{o})^{2}+2aS\\ So\\a=\frac{(V_{f})^{2}-(V_{o})^{2} }{2S}\\ a=\frac{(24m/s)^{2}-(0m/s)^{2} }{2(120)}\\a=2.4 m/s^{2}$
