You are in a helicopter towing a 127-kg laser detector that is mapping out the thickness of the Brunt Ice Shelf along the coast of Antarctica. The original cable used to suspend the detector was damaged and replaced by a lighter one with a maximum tension rating of 304 pounds, not much more than the weight of the detector. The replacement cable would work without question in the case that the detector and helicopter were not accelerating. However, some acceleration of the helicopter is inevitable. In order to monitor the tension force on the cable to make sure the maximum is not exceeded (and therefore to not lose the very expensive detector) you calculate the maximum angle the cable can make with the vertical without the cable exceeding the tension limit. (a) Assuming straight and level flight of the helicopter, what is that maximum angle? (b) What is the corresponding acceleration? (c) Your colleague wants to add a 8.00-kg infrared camera to the detector. What is the maximum allowable angle now?

Please make sure to check your work majority of the answers I recieve on here are wrong

A steel ball is dropped from a building's roof and passes a window, taking 0.131 s to fall from the top to the bottom of the window, a distance of 1.12 m. It then falls to a sidewalk and bounces back past the window, moving from bottom to top in 0.131 s. Assume that the upward flight is an exact reverse of the fall. The time spent below the bottom of the window is 1.94 s. How tall is the building?

An empty tin can with height of 30cm and a diameter of 15cm is open at one end and closed at the other end. If the vertical can, with open end down, be slowly immersed in water, how far the water will rise inside the can when the closed end is 10 cm below the water surface?

I know this is easy, but when I'm solving for h, I'm getting a negative value, means that the can will be filled completely?

A sample has a activity of 0.0089 Bq per gram of carbon. (a) Find the age of the sample, assuming that the activity per gram of carbon in a living organism has been constant at a value of 0.23 Bq. (b) Evidence suggests that the value of 0.23 Bq might have been as much as 44% larger. Repeat part (a), taking into account this 44% increase.

The emissivity of the human skin is 97.0 percent. Use 35.0 °C for the skin temperature and approximate the human body by a rectangular block with a height of 1.64 m, a width of 35.5 cm and a length of 25.0 cm.
Calculate the power emitted by the human body.

Fortunately our environment radiates too. The human body absorbs this radiation with an absorbance of 97.0 percent, so we don't lose our internal energy so quickly. How much power do we absorb when we are in a room where the temperature is 21.0 °C?

  1. An ideal gas undergoes an isothermal expansion from one state to another.  In this process determine the following (using the sign conventions on page 413):
    • Q = 0, Q > 0 or Q < 0
    • W = 0, W > 0 or W < 0
    • ΔU = 0, ΔU > 0 or ΔU < 0
  1. An ideal gas undergoes an isothermal process.  Which of the following are true (may be more than one):  a) No heat is added or removed from the gas, b) the internal energy of the gas does not change and/or c) the average kinetic energy of the molecules does not change.
  1. An ideal gas undergoes an adiabatic expansion in which no heat flows into or out of the gas.  As a result determine which of the following properties of the gas increases (may be more than one): a) temperature, b) pressure and/or c) volume.  
  1. Can you cool your kitchen by leaving your refrigerator door open?  Why or why not?
  1. If 1500 J of heat is added to a system and the system does 1100 J of work, then what was the change in the internal energy of the system?   Assume the system is closed (i.e. a gas inside of a cylinder fitted with a movable piston).

A 108 m long train starts from rest (at t = 0) and accelerates uniformly. At the same time (at t = 0), a car moving with constant speed in the same direction reaches the back end of the train. At t = 12 s the car reaches the front of the train. However, the train continues to speed up and pulls ahead of the car. At t = 32 s, the car is left behind the train. Determine, the car’s speed the train’s acceleration

1) You leave your house and walk ten miles to the west, and then five miles at an angle 60 degrees west of south. How far and in what direction do you need to walk to get home?

2) A car moving with a constant speed travels 160 m in 6.00 s. If it then breaks and comes to a stop in 6.00 s, how far it travels before stopping? What is the average speed over the 12.0 seconds?

Please solve these two questions clearly and step by step and also circle the answer. Thank you

42. You are working as an assistant to an air-traffic controller at the local airport, from which small airplanes take off and land. Your job is to make sure that airplanes are not closer to each other than a minimum safe separation distance of 2.00 km. You observe two small aircraft on your radar screen, out over the ocean surface. The first is at altitude 800 m above the surface, horizontal distance 19.2 km, and 25.08 south of west. The second aircraft is at altitude 1 100 m, horizontal distance 17.6 km, and 20.08 south of west. Your supervisor is concerned that the two aircraft are too close together and asks for a separation distance for the two airplanes. (Place the x axis west, the y axis south, and the z axis vertical.)
