In 1976, a 53 kg helicopter was built in Denmark. Suppose this helicopter flew east with a speed of 60.0 m/s and the total momen

tum of the helicopter and pilot was 7,200 kg∙m/s to the east. What was the mass of the pilot?

Answer:

67 kg.

Explanation:

From the question,

Total momentum = (mass of the pilot+ mass of the helicopter)×velocity.

I = (m+M)v............................... Equation 1

Where I = Total momentum of the pilot and the helicopter, m = mass of the pilot, M = mass of the helicopter, v = velocity.

make m the subject of the equation

m = (I/v)-M.............................. Equation 2

Given: I = 7200 kg.m/s, v = 60 m/s, M = 53 kg.

Substitute these values into equation 2

m = (7200/60)-53

m = 120-53

m = 67 kg.

Hence the mass of the pilot is 67 kg

Use the drop-down menus to complete the statement about Earth’s magnetism.
Nataly [62]

Answer:

The Earth's magnetism is generated in the core, which is composed of iron that is constantly churning

Explanation:

Magnetic fields are produced by charges in motion, therefore by currents.

The outer core of the Earth consists mainly of melted iron that is in constant motion. This iron in motion actually acts as a giant current, and therefore it is responsible for the creation of the Earth's magnetic field.

The magnetic field of the Earth is very weak, in fact its magnitude is on average between 25 and 65 microtesla (for comparison, normal magnets can even produce magnetic fields of a few millitesla).

However, its role is very important for the Earth: in fact, it provides a shield that blocks most of the harmful radiation coming from the Sun.

EastWind [94]

Answer:

(B) the sum total of all matter and energy

Explanation:

Universe comprises of all the matter and energy that exists in space. It contains billions of stars, planets and interstellar matter that is clouds of dust and gas. There is large amount of the empty space in between.

Universe contains stars as many as grains of sand on all beaches on the Earth. These stars are grouped into galaxies. Milky Way is one of the galaxies.  Galaxies can be grouped into clusters and super-clusters.
