An attack helicopter is equipped with a 20- mm cannon that fires 87 g shells in the forward direction with a muzzle speed of 853 m/s. the fully loaded helicopter has a mass of 4410 kg. a burst of 176 shells is fired in a 2.93 s interval. what is the resulting average force on the helicopter?

Answer

given,

mass of the shell = 87 g = 0.087 Kg

speed of the muzzle = 853 m/s

mass of the helicopter = 4410 kg

A burst of 176 shell fired in 2.93 s

resulting average force = ?

momentum of the shell = m v

                                       = 0.087 x 853

                                       = 74.21 kgm/s

momentum of 176 shell is = 176 p

                                          = 176 x 74.21

                                          = 13060.96

momentum of helicopter = - 13060.96 kgm/s

amount of speed reduce a =

                                          a=

                                          a = 2.96 m/s²

velocity  = \dfrac{2.96}{2.93}

      v = 1.01 m/s

4457.7 N

Explanation:

87g = 0.087kg

v = 853m/s

t = 2.93 s

total mass hitting = m = 0.087*176 = 15.32 kg

net momentum = mv = 15.32*853 = 13061 kg.m/s

as we know the rate of change of momentum is the average force of impact,

F_avg = = = 4457.7 kg.m/s^2 = 4457.7 N

the moon affects the earth gravitation ally, causing certain motions of that body and also producing tides in its ocean and atmosphere. the tidal wave in our atmosphere is, however, far too minute to be an effective cause in any known meteorological phenomenon.

a) electrical > light, sound, and thermal< < < <

) the mechanical energy of the firefighter moving.< < < < a) electrical > light, sound, and thermal< < < <

c) both a and b.
