The fastest helicopter, the Westland Lynx, can travel 3.33 km in the forward direction in just 30.0 s. What is the average velocity of this helicopter? Express your answer in both m/s and km/hr.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The value in m/s [tex]v_{a} = 111 \ m/s [/tex]

The value in km/h [tex]v_{a} = 400\ km/h [/tex]

Explanation:

Generally the average velocity of the helicopter is mathematically represented as

[tex]v_{a} = \frac{\Delta D}{ t}[/tex]

substituting [tex]3.33 km = 33.3*10^3\ for\  \Delta D[/tex] and  30.0 s for  t

We have

         [tex]v_{a} =  \frac{33.3 *10^{3}}{ 30}[/tex]

=>     [tex]v_{a} =  111 \  m/s [/tex]

Now converting to km/h

      [tex]v_{a} =  111  *  \frac{3600  *\frac{s}{h} }{1*10^{-3} *\frac{km}{m}} [/tex]

=>  [tex]v_{a} = 400\  km/h [/tex]
