If a hellicopter hovers 100 ft above ground for 12 hrs will it land in the same place?

Answer 1

NO! Even though the helicopter has not moved from its position the Earth has been both rotating and revolving through space.

Answer 2

I hated whilst they used plane to contemporary physics issues. I had an entire blown communicate related to a situation that in the time of touch a x-wind. the project replaced into provided as velocity over a floor , yet replaced into finding at velocity relative to apoint on the floor. for this question, its approx 22.14 m/s at time of impact. For the real international, this would not be a straight away vertical provide way. The rotorwash could accelerte the kit by using increasing downward stress on the container. as nicely, because of the winds, the kit will additionally no longer fall straight away down. floor component of the kit could set off air resitance, and to get relatively scientific, being above the earth in a helicopter, reckoning on the place your at interior the international, could be subjective to the corolis result. additionally, and not using a parachute, the care kit does no longer stay to tell the story in any case as could hit around 50 mph. impact could additionally be a reactionary stress, because of the fact the collision could would desire to be an ellastic or inellastic reckoning on the floor under.

Answer 3

The word 'hovers' refers to remaining in the same spot over the Earth, other wise it would be 'drifting', so assuming the helicopter had enough fuel to last all twelve hours, he would land directly below, on the Earth, again assuming that this was where it took off from.

Answer 4

Relatively close, if it could fly that long. As the world turns beneath it the pilot will subconsciously make minute movements, in order to remain hovering in the same place. When he comes in to land, he could be a few feet further from where he took off.

Answer 5

Not unless it HAS enough fuel for 12 hrs. But if it gets shot down, it won't land in the same place.

Answer 6

no. only the bigger planes can last that long, and not even the jumbo jets can manage 12 hours, as on a london to australia flight they have to stoip halfway for fuel etc. only your big militarial planes can manage 12 hours. and no even further becuase the wind will push it gradually. im reasonably confident that the earths movement would have no effect as its spinning too fast and so it would remain over the same position were it not for the reasons ive mentioned? maybe im wrong on that one if anybody could correct me?

Answer 7

A helicopters fuel tank can not hold enough fuel for it to stay in air twelve hours..It would not "land" if it did fall.....it would crash ......because it needs it's propellers rotating to guide it to ground.

Answer 8

GOOD QUESTION, I guess not eh? i'm reminded of the fly in the train travelling at 120 mph!!

Answer 9

No it'l crash land close by a lot earlier than twelve hours.

Answer 10

No, the earth moves below it.
