1. During a rescue operation, a 5300-kg helicopter hovers above a fixed point. The helicopter blades sendair downward with a speed of 62 m/s. What mass of air must pass through the blades every second to produce enough thrust for the helicopter to hover?Explain and labled.
Usually, we do not walk or even stand on a lightweight boat or raft because of the danger of falling into the water. If you have ever stepped off a small boat onto a dock, however, you have probably noticed that the boat moves away from the dock as you step toward the dock or out of the boat. A heavy dog running on a long lightweight raft presents a similar situation. At first, the raft and the dog are at rest with respect to the water (see figure A below) so that
vi = 0.
The dog then runs on top of the raft at
vd = vd
with respect to the water (see figure B below). The dog has one sixth the mass of the raft. Find an expression for the velocity of the raft after the dog began running. (Use the following as necessary: vd.)

- You have been chosen as the test subject for the newest attraction at Canada’s Wonderland. This attraction is a single-person roller coaster ride that has a 25.0 m drop followed by a plunger/piston device that brings the ride to rest. The plunger/piston is connected to a cylinder that contains 250 kg of water. The cart has a mass of 75.0 kg and starts at rest from the top of the track. To determine the total mass of the cart during the ride you must add your mass. As the cart moves down the track it has been determined that friction in the wheels and axles results in the production of 2750 J of thermal and sound energy combined. The plunger/piston at the bottom of the device has been designed to stop the cart with a maximum acceleration of 5.00 g’s (i.e. 49.0 m/s2). MY MASS: 66.2kg Problem 1: The cart with you inside of it starts from rest at the top of the ride. Determine the gravitational potential energy of the cart with you as the single passenger at the top of the ride.…arrow_forwardYou have been chosen as the test subject for the newest attraction at Canada’s Wonderland.
