A food packet is dropped from a helicopter during a flood-relief operation from a height of 750 meters. Assuming no drag (air fr

iction), what will the velocity of the packet be when it reaches the ground? Also, at what height will the packet have half this velocity?

1. Velocity at which the packet reaches the ground: 121.2 m/s

The motion of the packet is a uniformly accelerated motion, with constant acceleration a=g=9.8 m/s^2 directed downward, initial vertical position d=750 m, and initial vertical velocity v_0 = 0. We can use the following SUVAT equation to find the final velocity of the packet after travelling for d=750 m:

v_f^2 -v_i^2 =2ad

substituting, we find

v_f^2 = 2ad\\v_f = \sqrt{2ad}=\sqrt{2(9.8 m/s^2)(750 m)}=121.2 m/s

2. height at which the packet has half this velocity: 562.6 m

We need to find the heigth at which the packet has a velocity of

v_f=\frac{121.2 m/s}{2}=60.6 m/s

In order to do that, we use again the same SUVAT equation substituting v_f with this value, so that we find the new distance d that the packet travelled from the helicopter to reach this velocity:

v_f^2-v_i^2=2ad\\d=\frac{v_f^2}{2a}=\frac{(60.6 m/s)^2}{2(9.8 m/s^2)}=187.4 m

Which means that the heigth of the packet was

h=750 m-187.4 m=562.6 m

A spring stretches by 18 cm when a bag of potatoes weighing 56 N is suspended from its end. How much elastic potential energy in
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

Elastic potential energy = 5.04 J

Explanation:

Given that

Extension e = 18 cm = 0.18 m

Force F = 56N

Elastic potential energy = 1/2Fe

Elastic Potential energy = 1/2 ×56×0.18

Elastic potential energy = 5.04 J

A gas sample occupies 4.2 L at a pressure of 101 kPa. What volume will it occupy if the pressure is increased to 235 kPa?
Dmitrij [34]
For this we want to use Boyle's Law. Boyle’s law states that the pressure and volume of a fixed quantity of a gas are inversely proportional under constant temperature conditions. The formula for this is P1V1 = P2V2. We want to solve this out so it equals V2 (Volume 2). So P1V1 / P2 = V2. Then plug in your values for the variables. So (101)(4.2) / 235 = V2; so 424.2 / 235 = V2. The final volume equals 1.81. I hope this helps, If not I am very sorry.

Answer:

Same reading.

Explanation:

Assume that after the string breaks the ball falls through the liquid with constant speed. If the mass of the bucket and the liquid is 1.20 kg, and the mass of the ball is 0.150 kg,

A.) Before the string break, the total weight = weight of the can + weight of the water.

According to Archimedes' Principle which state that: “A body immersed in a liquid loses weight by an amount equal to the weight of the liquid displaced.” Archimedes principle also states that: “When a body is immersed in a liquid, an upward thrust, equal to the weight of the liquid displaced, acts on it

B.) After the string break.

The scale will have the same reading as before the string break.
