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

How are ice liquid water and water vapor different from each other?
olga_2 [115]
The molecules of ice stick together in the process of cohesion. They are tightly packed so there isn't much room to move. Liquid water is a looser hold. The molecules can go past one another, and they will take the shape of whatever container they occupy. Water vapor is loosely contained, and it will will fill whatever container it is kept in, and it will take its shape, too.

1. A ball falls from a height "h" from a tower. Which of the following statements is true?
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

the total kinetic and potential energy of the ball is constant (mechanical energy remains the same)

Explanation:

As the ball falls, kinetic energy is increased in direct relation with the decrease in potential energy

A proton moving at 3.0 × 10^4 m/s is projected at an angle of 30° above a horizontal plane. If an electric field of 400 N/C is a
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

The time it takes the proton to return to the horizontal plane is 7.83 X10⁻⁷ s

Explanation:

From Newton's second law, F = mg and also from coulomb's law F= Eq

Dividing both equations by mass;

F/m = Eq/m = mg/m, then

g = Eq/m --------equation 1

Again, in a projectile motion, the time of flight (T) is given as

T = (2usinθ/g) ---------equation 2

Substitute in the value of g into equation 2

T = \frac{2usin \theta}{\frac{Eq}{m}} =\frac{m* 2usin \theta}{Eq}

Charge of proton = 1.6 X 10⁻¹⁹ C

Mass of proton = 1.67 X 10⁻²⁷ kg

E is given as 400 N/C, u = 3.0 × 10⁴ m/s and θ = 30°

Solving for T;

T = \frac{(1.67X10^{-27}* 2*3X10^4sin 30}{400*1.6X10^{-19}}

T = 7.83 X10⁻⁷ s
