A small mailbag is released from a helicopter that is descending steadily at 1.69 m/s.

(a) After 3.00 s, what is the speed of the mailbag?

v = m/s

(b) How far is it below the helicopter?

d = m

(c) What are your answers to parts (a) and (b) if the helicopter is rising steadily at 1.69 m/s?

v = m/s

d = m

Expert Solution

Use equation of kinematics for vertical motion under influence of gravity where downward is the positive direction as shown below

A 0.40 kg pendulum bob starts with an initial velocity of 2.0 m/s is released from a height of 0.275 m. It collides at the bottom of its swing with a 1.3 kg ball which is at initially at rest. (a) Find the speed of the pendulum bob just before it strikes more massive ball at rest. (b) Assume the collision is elastic. Determine the magnitude and direction of the velocities following the collision. (c) Using conservation of energy, determine...

A container with mass m kg is dropped by a helicopter from height h km at...

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...

RotateUP Co. is a small company that offers helicopter rides from Bellevue, Kirkland and Bothell to downtown Seattle. Due to state regulations, two able helicopter pilots must be in any commercial helicopter. Each ride takes half an hour. The company’s cost come from paying the helicopter pilots ($75 per hour) and the helicopters themselves (rental cost is $100 per hour). A) If you were to draw the isoquants for this company, would they be L-shaped, straight lines or curved lines?...

Air enters a nozzle steadily at 280 kPa and 77°C with a velocity of 70 m/s and exits at 85 kPa and 320 m/s. The heat losses from the nozzle to the surrounding medium at 20°C are estimated to be 3.2 kJ/kg. The table for the ideal-gas properties of air is given below. Determine the exit temperature. (Round the final answer to one decimal). The exit temperature is ______K Determine the total entropy change for this process. (Round the final...
