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.

Jlenok [28]

Answer:

-30°C

Explanation:

F-32/180 =C-0/100

or, -22-32/180=C/100

or, -54/180*100=C

or, -0.3*100=C

therefore, C= -30

-22°F = -30°C

Which person will most likely hear the loudest sound?
Nataliya [291]

Person standing on A will hear the loudest sound

Explanation:

The intensity of a sound wave (which is proportional to the loudness of the sound) follows an inverse square law, which is:

I\propto \frac{1}{r^2}

where

I is the intensity of the wave

r is the distance from the source of the sound

This equation means that the intensity of the sound wave (and therefore, its loudness) is inversely proportional to the square of the distance  from the source: therefore,

  • As we get closer to the source of sound, the loudness increases
  • As we move away from the source of sound, the loudness decreases

Therefore, the person that will hear the loudest sound is the one standing closer to the source, and therefore person A.

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

The change  in momentum is  \Delta p =   kg \cdot m/s      

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

       The mass of the probe is  m = 170 kg

       The location of the prob at time t = 22.9 s is  A  =

       The  momentum at time  t = 22.9 s is  p = < 51000, -7000, 0> kg m/s

        The net force on the probe is  F =  N

Generally the change in momentum is mathematically represented as

              \Delta p = F * \Delta t

The initial time is   22.6 s

 The final time  is  22.9 s

             Substituting values  

           \Delta p =  * (22.9 - 22.6)

            \Delta p =  * (0.3)  

              \Delta p =   kg \cdot m/s
