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

The centripetal force : F = 293.3125 N

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

mass = 65 kg

v = 9.5 m/s

r = 20 m

Required

the centripetal force

Solution

Centripetal force is a force acting on objects that move in a circle in the direction toward the center of the circle  

\large {\boxed {\bold {F = \frac {mv ^ 2} {R}}}

F = centripetal force, N  

m = mass, Kg  

v = linear velocity, m / s  

r = radius, m  

Input the value :

F = 65 x 9.5² / 20

F = 293.3125 N

An atom with the expected number of neutrons, protons, and electrons is called a(n)
ryzh [129]

Answer:

Stable atom

Explanation:

A stable atom is one that has a balanced nuclear inter-particle force reaction as such the binding energy of a stable atom is sufficient to permanently keep the nucleus as one unit. Examples of a stable atom are the atoms of  monoisotopic elements such as fluorine, sodium, iodine, gold, aluminium, and cobalt.

In a stable atom the expected number of proton, neutron, and electron are present while in an unstable atom or radioactive atom, there are more than the expected number of neutrons or protons, such that the internal energy of the nucleus is excessive and more than the binding energy, which can lead to radioactive decay.
