    Is the first question worked right and any hints on the second please

    1. The rotating blade of a hovering helicopter sweeps out an area of radius 4m imparting a downward velocity of 12ms^-1 to the air displaced. Find the mass of the helicopter. (g=10ms^-2, density of air= 1.3 kgm^-3) The Attempt at a Solution F=d/dt(mv) F= (density of air*volume)*12 =...

    Weight of Astronaut during Lift Off: 750N at 5g's Acceleration

    Thanks a lot mate:smile: I understood.. at a= 50ms^-2 W-750= 75(50) W=3750+750 W=4500N thanks again...

    Weight of Astronaut during Lift Off: 750N at 5g's Acceleration

    At zero acceleration it would be 750N, I cannot understand how to work out problems when acceleration is involved, even after consulting some worked examples in the book. For example problems which involve elevators and finding the weight of an object while accelerating, finding acceleration...

    Weight of Astronaut during Lift Off: 750N at 5g's Acceleration

    1. What is the weight of an astronaut during lift off, if his actual weight is 750N and the acceleration of the craft is 5g's. The way I tried to solve it: F=ma F= 75(50) But answers are not matching, as the answer should be 4500N. I think I am missing something with that has to do with...

    Can Wireless Power Transmission Achieve the Speed of Light?

    Just to know...?? This is no homework,, this is just my effort trying to solve this out... If we ever succeed to transfer electrical power without the use of wires (conduction) would that mean that the speed of light is reached? And If your answer is no, then how come the electric power that...
