A helicopter takes off along the vertical with an acceleration `a = 3m//s^(2)` and zero initial velocity. In a certain time the pilot switches off the engine. At the point of take off, the sound dies away in a time `t_(2) = 30 sec`. Determine the velocity of the helicopter at the moment when its engine is switched off assuming that velocity of sound is 320 m/s.

Answer» Correct Answer - `80 ms^(-1)`
Let t= time of accelerated motion of the helicopter.
Distance travelled by helicopter
+ Distanace travelled by sound
`rArr (1)/(2) xx 3 xx t^(2) =320 (30-t)rArr t=(80)/(3)sec`
Final velocity of helicopter
`v=u+at =0 +3 xx (80)/(3)= 80 m//s`.
