The propeller of a small airplane has a 2-m-diameter slipstream and produces a thrust of 3600 N when the airplane is at rest on the ground. Assuming ρ = 1.225 kg/m3 for air, determine (a) the speed of the air in the slipstream, (b) the volume of air passing through the propeller per second, (c) the kinetic energy imparted per second to the air in the slipstream.

- Consider the fall of a pole vaulting athlete as a projectile once the pole is released. The pole has a lake of 15.8 feet and once the athlete releases the pole they will find a mattress 2 feet high, 10 feet wide and 16 feet long, which protects them in the fall. If an athlete lets go of the pole when he was 13.4 feet above the ground with a velocity 17.7 ft / s at an angle of 55 degrees. Enter the Vertical initial velocity component, add the units in the result..arrow_forwardPrior to takeoff, the pilot of a 3000-kg twin-engine airplane tests the reversible-pitch propellers by increasing the reverse thrust with the brakes at point B locked. Knowing that point G is the center of gravity of the airplane, determine the velocity of the air in the two 2.2-m-diameter slipstreams when the nose wheel A begins to lift off the ground. Assume P = 1.21 kg/m3 and neglect the approach velocity of the air.arrow_forwardShow that the force exerted by a liquid jet on a stationary nozzle as it leaves with a velocity V is proportional to V2 or, alternatively, to m.2.

- The weight of a Falcon rocket is 500,000 kg. It will be landed on earth at a constant speed of 100 m/s. To slow down the rocket, combustion gases will be fired at the bottom and leave the rocket at a constant rate of 150 kg/s at a relative velocity of 5000 m/s in the direction of motion of the spacecraft for a period of 10 s. If the mass change of the Falcon rocket cannot be ignored, determine (a) the deceleration of the rocket during this period, (b) the thrust exerted on the rocket.arrow_forwardThe momentum equations for a rotating shallow homogeneous fluid with a free upper surface (i.e. the shallow water equations) may be written as Du Dt Dv Dt Əh дх Əh ду = +fv-g for (+ f, where = = = -fu-g- where u(x, y, t), v(x, y, t) are the velocities on the free surface, and h(x, y, t) is the depth of the free surface.

During the collision, The truck exerts the same amount of A force on the bicycle as the bicycle exerts on the truck. The bicycle exerts a greater amount of В force on the truck than the truck exerts on the bicycle. The truck exerts a force on the bicycle but the bicycle does not exert a force on the truck.
