A helicopter is lifting off from the ground and is moving vertically upward. The graph shows its vertical velocity vy versus time. How high is the helicopter after 8 s have elapsed?
( WEBSITE WOULDNT LET ME POST THE PIC OF THE GRAPH) if you copy and paste the question into google images it pops up
To determine the height of the helicopter after 8 seconds have elapsed, we need to find the area under the curve of the graph showing the vertical velocity (vy) versus time.
Since the graph is not provided here, you can try the following steps to find the solution:
1. Copy and paste the question into a search engine like Google.
2. Go to the Images section of the search results.
3. Look for the graph that matches the description and open it.
Once you have the graph, you can proceed with the following steps to calculate the height of the helicopter after 8 seconds:
1. Identify the specific portion of the graph corresponding to the time between 0 and 8 seconds.
2. Determine the average value of the vertical velocity during that time period.
3. Calculate the area under the curve of the graph between 0 and 8 seconds using the average velocity value you found.
- Multiply the average velocity by the time duration (8 seconds) to find the area of the rectangle.
- Identify any other regions of the graph that are not rectangular and try to approximate the area under these sections.
- Add all these areas together to find the total area.
The value of the total area represents the displacement or height of the helicopter after 8 seconds.
Apologies, but as a text-based AI, I am unable to view or analyze images. However, I can still help you answer your question using the information you provided.
To determine the height of the helicopter after 8 seconds, we need to find the area under the velocity-time graph from 0 to 8 seconds. The area under the graph represents the displacement or height of the object.
If you are able to describe the shape of the graph or provide numerical values, I can assist you in calculating the height.
