Answer:

The work done to get you safely away from the test is  2.47 X 10⁴ J.

Explanation:

Given;

length of the rope, L = 70 ft

mass per unit length of the rope, μ = 2 lb/ft

your mass, W = 120 lbs

mass of the 70 ft rope  = 2 lb/ft x 70 ft

                                         = 140 lbs.

Total mass to be pulled to the helicopter, M = 120 lbs  + 140 lbs  

                                                                       = 260 lbs

The work done is calculated from work-energy theorem as follows;

W = Mgh

where;

g is acceleration due gravity = 32.17 ft/s²

h is height the total mass is raised = length of the rope = 70 ft

W = 260 Lb x 32.17 ft/s²  x 70 ft

W = 585494 lb.ft²/s²

1 lb.ft²/s² = 0.0421 J

W = 585494 lb.ft²/s²  = 2.47 X 10⁴ J.

Therefore, the work done to get you safely away from the test is  2.47 X 10⁴ J.

A racing car whose mass is 1.2 X 10^3 kg is travelling at 8.9 m/s. It stops with a constant deceleration in a distance of 1.8X10
Alexeev081 [22]

given that initial speed of the car is

v_i = 8.9 m/s

now after travelling the distance d = 1.8 * 10^1 m the car will stop

so here we can use kinematics to find the acceleration of car

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

0 - 8.9^2 = 2 a d

here we have

- 79.21 = 2*(18)*a

a = -2.2 m/s^2

net force applied due to brakes of car is given by Newton's II law

F = ma

here we have

mass = 1.2 * 10^3 kg

F_{net} = 1.2 * 10^3 * 2.2

F_{net} = 2.64 * 10^3 N

now we can say

F_{net} = F_1 + F_2

2.64 * 10^3 = 1.8 * 10^3 + F_2

F_2 = 8.4 * 10^2 N

So the force applied due to brakes is given as above

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

lunar node in other words is either of the two orbital nodes of the Moon, that is, the two points at which the orbit of the Moon intersects the ecliptic. The ascending node is where the Moon moves into the northern ecliptic hemisphere, while the descending node is where the Moon enters the southern ecliptic hemisphere

Calculate the change in internal energy of the following system: A balloon is cooled by removing 0.659 kJ of heat. It shrinks on
bixtya [17]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

-310J

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The change in internal energy (ΔE) of a system is the sum of the heat (Q) and work (W) done on or by the system. i.e

ΔE = Q + W       ----------------------(i)

If heat is released by the system, Q is negative. Else it is positive.

If work is done on the system, W is positive. Else it is negative.

<em>In this case, the system is the balloon and;</em>

Q = -0.659kJ = -695J    [Q is negative because heat is removed from the system(balloon)]

W = +385J  [W is positive because work is done on the system (balloon)]

<em>Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;</em>

ΔE = -695 + 385

ΔE = -310J

Therefore, the change in internal energy is -310J

<em>PS: The negative value indicates that the system(balloon) has lost energy to its surrounding, thereby making the process exothermic.</em>

If we say that one quantity is directly proportional to another quantity, does this mean that they are equal to each other?
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

Explanation:

It doesn't mean it equal to each other.  lets say x is directly proportional to y. Here, if something happens to x then, y will do the same thing. for example, if x increases, then y also increases. similarly, if x decreases, then y also decreases. therefore, x is something or lets say it is a major factor that decides the fate of y.
