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

Change the following data into scientific notation.<br><br> 5 000 000 km
RoseWind [281]
To find out scientific notation, you want to make sure that number is less than 10. So do 5.000000, you don't rally need the zeros but I just want to make my point. So use 10^x meaning ten the whatever power adds zeros like 5.000000x10^6 meaning it is increasing it by six zeros moving it out of the decimals and letting become 5,000,000.

A vector points -43.0 units
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

To find the direction of this vector we need o find the angle that has a tangent of the y-component over the x-component:

tan^{-1}(\frac{11.1}{-43.0})=-14.5 but since we are in Q2 we have to add 180 degrees to that angle giving us 165.5 degrees

Wind tends to move from<br> pressure areas.<br> low, high<br> high, high<br> low, low<br> high, low
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

high, low

Explanation:

  • Energy always flows from a higher level to a lower level.
  • It is analogous to the waterfall where waterfalls from a higher level to a lower level.
  • So in the case of the pressure of the gas, when there are any numbers of molecules in a given volume of space. The gas is said to be at high pressure.
  • When there are fewer molecules in the given volume. The gas is said to be at lower pressure.
  • Due to a large number of atoms, the high-pressure gas exerts more force on the container than the force exerted by the low-pressure gas.
  • If a hose is connected between these two containers, gas rushes from high pressure to the low pressure. Since the force exerted by the high-pressure gas is greater than that of low-pressure gas.

So, the wind tends to move from high-pressure areas to low pressure.

The engine of a 1520-kg automobile has a power rating of 75 kW. Determine the time required to accelerate this car from rest to
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

t=15.68 s

Explanation:

Given that

m = 1520 kg

P =75 KW

We know that

Power  ,P = F .v

F=force

v=velocity

v= 100 km/h

v=\dfrac{1000}{3600}\times 100\ m/s

v=27.77 m/s

75 x 1000  = F x 27.77

F= \dfrac{75000}{27.77}\ N

F= 2700.75 N

F= m a

m=mass

a=acceleration

2700.75 = 1520 x a

 a=1.77 m/s²

time t given as

v= u + a t

27.77 = 0 + 1.77 x t

t=15.68 s
