          Personally, I just don’t like the guy and his vibes. But I wouldn’t tell random people online to avoid him, he’s not that bad.

          There was also that self-driving car video which turned out to be really scummy.

            i liked his older videos far more, so quality is definitely subjective. it was one guy’s channel about physics with specific vibe, now it is just general channel about everything, indistinguishable from all the other science channels…

          He created fake science experiments to sell products and slipped them into normal videos, like the video where he claimed wet wipes are flushable, then created a fake experiment “proving” they were flushable. He’s incredibly untrustworthy and also, not a scientist! He’s an art major or business, can’t remember which.

        Especially, don’t tell me what to do, without a functional alternative, and most certainly without giving me a good reason to do it.

        And absolutely don’t tell me what to do without giving me a reason or functional alternative multiple times in low effort copy pasta comments.

      there are 2 answers depicted under the option you claim to be correct. one of those answers is indeed correct, but it is not really clear which one from your comment.

      clear answer

      it is the straight diagonal.

    The answer is D because there’s no indication that the rope is untied. The helicopter starts his trajectory but loses control and spins out and crashes, this is the hidden frame

    Letter D is perfect for what’s being described thereby: D for “Disaster”, “Dying”, “Drowning” if the helicopter is flying next to the sea. It could be letter S, too, for “stall”, “smashing onto the ground” or, if this acute pitch exerted onto the aircraft was deliberately maneuvered by the pilot themselves, a seven-letter word starting with the letter S.

      Yes, but then it wouldn’t be flying “to the right” as it says.

        If the helicopter is suspended in the air, it’s flying. To the right is simply a frame of reference, if I’m driving to the left then it appears as though the helicopter is going to the right, so the speed can be 0.

        Both. The first c when the heli is flying at a constant speed. The 2nd one when it’s accelerating.

        Edit: problem description said constant speed, so that means the first one.

        I’m gonna say 1st. The propeller blows downwards so it would have that effect on the upper portion of the rope.

          That’s a fair point but its also unclear how that would actually affect the rope. The rotor blades spin faster on the outside of their sweep, so they are driving the air downwards more powerfully there, although the rope is farther below the blades.
