Answer:

The net force = 0

Explanation:

The given information includes;

The mass of the crate = 250 kg

The way the helicopter lifts the crate = Uniformly (constant rate (speed), no acceleration)

In order to pull the crate upwards, the helicopter has to provide a force equivalent to the weight of the crate keeping the helicopter on the ground.

The weight of the crate = The mass of the crate × The acceleration due gravity acting on the crate

The weight of the crate, $F_w$ ↓ = 250 kg × 9.81 m/s² = 2,452.5 N

The force the helicopter should provide to just lift the crate, $F_{(helicopter)}$ ↑ = The weight of the crate = 2,452.5 N

The net force, $F_{(net)}$ = $F_{(helicopter)}$ ↑ - $F_w$ ↓ = 2,452.5 N - 2,452.5 N = 0

The net force = 0.

leva [86]

Answer:

B ) Ascend using my buddy alternative air source / make an emergency Ascent

Explanation:

From the description it can be seen his buddy is close by of which he can easily use the alternative air source. Also we can see that he is closer to the water surface than his buddy, of which controlled emergency swimming ascent is highly favourable in this condition.

An airplane flying parallel to the ground undergoes two consecutive dis- placements. The first is 75 km 30.0° west of north, and

torisob [31]

Answer: displacement of airplane is 172 km in direction 34.2 degrees East of North

Explanation:

In constructing the two displacements it is noticed that the angle between the 75 km vector and the 155 km vector is a right angle (90 degrees).

Hence if the plane starts out at A, it travels to B, 75 km away, then turns 90 degrees to the right (clockwise) and travels to C, 155 km away from B. Angle ABC is 90 degrees, hence we can use Pythagoras theorem to solve for AC

AC2 = AB2 + BC2 ; AC^2 = 752 + 1552 ; from this we get AC = 172 km (3 significant figures)

Angle BAC = Tan-1(155/75) ; giving angle BAC = 64.2 degrees

Hence AC is in a direction (64.2 - 30) = 34.2 degrees East of North

Therefore the displacement of the airplane is 172 km in a direction 34.2 degrees East of North

A 5.00 kg crate is on a 21.0 degree hill. Using X-Y axes tilted down the plane, what is the y-component of the normal force?

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

The y-component of the normal force is 45.74 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the crate, m = 5 kg

Angle with hill, $\theta=21^{\circ}$

We need to find the y component of the normal force. We know that the y component of the normal force is given by :

$F_y=F\ \cos\theta\\\\F_y=mg\ \cos\theta\\\\F_y=5\times 9.8\ \cos(21)\\\\F_y=45.74\ N$

So, the y-component of the normal force is 45.74 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

You have been abducted by aliens and find yourself on a strange planet. Fortunately, you have a meter stick with you. You observ

defon

Answer:

$36.4276\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

m = Mass of stick

L = Length of stick = 1 m

h = Center of mass of stick = $\dfrac{1}{2}=0.5\ m$

g = Acceleration due to gravity

T = Time period = 0.85 s

Time period is given by

$T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{I}{mgh}}$

Moment of inertia is given by

$I=m\dfrac{L^2}{3}$

$T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{m\dfrac{L^2}{3}}{mgh}}\\\Rightarrow T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{L^2}{3gh}}\\\Rightarrow g=\dfrac{4\pi^2L^2}{3hT^2}\\\Rightarrow g=\dfrac{4\pi^2\times 1^2}{3\times 0.5\times 0.85^2}\\\Rightarrow g=36.4276\ m/s^2$

The acceleration of gravity on this planet is $36.4276\ m/s^2$
