Answer:

The mechanical energy of the helicopter is 1.12\times 10^7\ J.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the helicopter, m = 3250 kg

Speed of the helicopter, v = 56.9 m/s

Position of the helicopter, h = 185 m

The energy possessed by an object due to its motion is called its kinetic energy. It is given by :

E=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 3250\times (56.9)^2  

E=5.26\times 10^6\ J

The energy possessed by an object due to its position is called its potential energy. It is given by :

E=mgh

E=3250\times 9.8\times 185  

E=5.89\times 10^6\ J

The sum of kinetic and potential energy is called mechanical energy of the system. It is given by :

M=5.26\times 10^6+5.89\times 10^6

M=11.15\times 10^6\ J

or

M=1.12\times 10^7\ J

So, the mechanical energy of the helicopter is 1.12\times 10^7\ J. Hence, this is the required solution.

Well I don't know.  Let's actually LOOK at the picture and see if that helps.

A,  B,  C,  and D all have the same TOTAL length, but  A  has the most waves crammed into that same total length.

By golly, that means the length of <u><em>each</em></u> wave in  A  must be shorter than each wave in  B,  C,  or D.

The correct choice is <em> A </em>.  Looking at the picture did the trick !
