    Why is there no helicoptor with a single rotor?

    i think i have to relate it to energy and momentum and all that great stuff...

    Momentum of an object and kinetic energy

    i still don't understand what numbers I am using there is no numbers given...? kinetic energy is increasing? I am sorry i feel stupid this is my first physics course though and my professor does not explian things well at all...

    Why is there no helicoptor with a single rotor?

    All helicopters have two rotors. Some have both rotors on vertical axes but rotating in opposite directions, and the rest have one rotor on a horizontal axis perpendicular to the helicopter body at the tail. Why is a single rotor never used? :frown:

    Momentum of an object and kinetic energy

    Homework Statement the momentum of an object (originally with a non zero momentum) is doubled by doubling the speed. What happens to the kinetic energy? Justify your answer you should get a numerical answer. Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution well i know that momentum...
