A helicopter makes a force landing at sea. The last radio signal received at station C gives the bearing of the helicopter from C as at an N 57.1 degrees. E altitude of 423 feet. An observer at C sights the helicopter and gives <DCB as 12.1 degrees. How far will a rescue boat at A have to travel to reach any survivors at B? Apply the rules regarding the use of significant digits when determining your answer. Round your...

A container with mass m kg is dropped by a helicopter from height h km at time t=0, with zero velocity. from the outset, its fall is controlled by gravity and the force of air resitance, f(v)= -kv, where v is the current velocity of the container. in t seconds after the drop, a parachute opens, resulting in an increase of air resistance up to f(v) = -kv. determine the time t at which the container touches the ground. and...

Description: An airplane is flying from San Francisco to Seattle which is a distance of approximately 1200 km. The cruising speed of the plane (VP ) is 400 km/hr relative to the air, and on a calm day (no wind) the pilot would fly on a path, due north, arriving in Seattle exactly 3.0 hours after leaving San Francisco(ignoring the time spent taxiing, taking off, landing etc.). However, today, the wind is blowing due east with a constant velocity (VW)...

Electrical power is transmitted southwards from a hydroelectric plant over a distance of 1000 km via a DC (direct current) transmission line to a consumer. The output is 800 KV at the plant. The transmission line consists of one isolated aluminum strand with 2.0 cm diameter; an identical cable returns back north to the generator. The resistivity of aluminum is 2.20 x 10-8 Ωm. The power fed into the original transmission line at the plant is 1000 MW. a) Draw...
