Answer:

154° at 195 km/h

Explanation:

The helicopter is moving south at 175 km/h, relative to the wind.

But the wind is moving east at 85 km/h, relative to the ground.

This means that the helicopter is moving south east relative to the ground.

Every hour, the helicopter will move 175 km to the south and 85 km to the east, relative to the ground.

This means that we can determine the speed and direction of the helicopter using a right triangle and simple trigonometry.

Refer to the triangle b1.

The distance traveled by the helicopter in 1 hour is denoted by d.

d is the hypotenuse of the right triangle.

Using the Pythagorean Theorem, we can calculate d to be 195 km (rounded to 3 s. f.)

Hence the helicopter is traveling at 195 km/h relative to the ground.

To calculate the direction we use,

tan (x) = opposite/adjacent = 85/175

So the angle x is,

x = arctan (\frac{85}{175} ) = 25.9°

Relative to the North, the helicopter is moving at 180° - 25.9° = 154° (rounded to 3 s. f.)

A disk-shaped merry-go-round of radius 2.13 m and mass 175 kg rotates freely with an angular speed of 0.651 rev/s. A 55.4 kg per
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

Explanation:

To find out the angular velocity of merry-go-round after person jumps on it , we shall apply law of conservation of ANGULAR momentum

I₁ ω₁ + I₂ ω₂ = ( I₁  + I₂ ) ω

I₁ is moment of inertia of disk , I₂ moment of inertia of running person , I is the moment of inertia of disk -man system , ω₁ and ω₂ are angular velocity of disc and man .

I₁ = 1/2 mr²

= .5 x 175 x 2.13²

= 396.97 kgm²

I₂ = m r²

= 55.4 x 2.13²

= 251.34 mgm²

ω₁ = .651 rev /s

= .651 x 2π rad /s

ω₂ = tangential velocity of man / radius of disc

= 3.51 / 2.13

= 1.65 rad/s

I₁ ω₁ + I₂ ω₂ = ( I₁  + I₂ ) ω

396.97 x  .651 x 2π + 251.34 x 1.65 = ( 396.97 + 251.34 ) ω

ω = 3.14 rad /s

kinetic energy = 1/2 I ω²

= 3196 J

aluminum has a density of 2.7 g/cm3. if a chuck of aluminum with a mass of 16 g is placed in a graduated cylinder partially fill
sweet-ann [11.9K]
When placing the piece of aluminium in water, the level of water will rise by an amount equal to the volume of the piece of aluminum.
Therefore, we need to find the volume of that piece.

Density can be calculated using the following rule:
Density = mass / volume 
Therefore:
volume = mass / density
we are given that:
the density = 2.7 g / cm^3
the mass = 16 grams
Substitute in the equation to get the volume of the piece of aluminum as follows:
volume = 16 / 2.7 = 5.9259 cm^3

Since the water level will rise to an amount equal to the volume of aluminum, therefore, the water level will rise by 5.9259 cm^3

GarryVolchara [31]
From the first law of thermodynamics, we use the equation expressed as:

ΔH = Q + W

where Q is the heat absorbed of the system and W is the work done.

We calculate as follows:

ΔH = Q + W
ΔH = 829 J + 690 J = 1519 J

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

A )

speed of swimming in still water is given by the expression

distance / time

= 50 / 25

= 2 m /s

In lane 1 , 1.2 cm/s current is flowing in the direction that the swimmers are going so swimmers will cover distance at the rate of  2 + 1.2 = 3.2 m /s.

time to cover distance of 50 m in lane 1

= distance / speed

= 50 / 3.2 = 15.625 s

In lane 8 , 1.2 cm/s current is flowing against  the direction that the swimmers are going so swimmers will cover distance at the rate of  2 - 1.2 = .8 m /s.

time to cover distance of 50 m in lane 1

= distance / speed

= 50 / .8 = 62.5 s

Aleks04 [339]
A futuristic design for a car is to have a large solid disk-shaped flywheel within the car storing kinetic energy. The uniform flywheel has mass 370 kg with a radius of 0.500 m and can rotate up to 320 rev/s. Assuming all of this stored kinetic energy could be transferred to the linear velocity of the 3500-kg car, find the maximum attainable speed of the car.
