Answer:
67 kg.
Explanation:
From the question,
Total momentum = (mass of the pilot+ mass of the helicopter)×velocity.
I = (m+M)v............................... Equation 1
Where I = Total momentum of the pilot and the helicopter, m = mass of the pilot, M = mass of the helicopter, v = velocity.
make m the subject of the equation
m = (I/v)-M.............................. Equation 2
Given: I = 7200 kg.m/s, v = 60 m/s, M = 53 kg.
Substitute these values into equation 2
m = (7200/60)-53
m = 120-53
m = 67 kg.
Hence the mass of the pilot is 67 kg
these are words of wisdom

When heat is added to a substance, the atoms and molecules begin to vibrate faster. As that happens the gap between them increases. Opposite happens when cooled, atoms and molecules begin to vibrate slower and the gap between each other decreases. Thus the motion and spacing between atoms signifies the state of matter of the substance.
