A launch vehicle has 6 engines operating in parallel which are fed from the same propellant tank.
Initially, each engine has an equivalent exhaust velocity of 3500 m/s and consumes 400 kilograms of
propellant per second.
One of the engines malfunctions and consequently operates at 50% thrust and 120% propellant
consumption. Calculate the equivalent exhaust velocity in m/s of all engines if treated as a single
engine, including the malfunctioning engine in your calculation.
This is from Chapter 10 of Sustainable Energy second edition by Richard Dunlap
Two locations have the same average wind velocity. Location A has a constant wind velocity of 10 m/s, while Location B has a wind velocity of 5 m/s for 12 hours per day and a wind velocity of 15 m/s for 12 hours per day. Compare the total energy produced per day for identical wind turbines at the two locations. The energy is given by the formula E = 0.5*(air density)*(efficiency)*velocity^3*(Turbine area)*time. Keep the answer in terms of (efficiency)*(Area).
**Also is v average velocity or regular, non-average velocity?***

airplane through the air with a speed of 280 km/h at a cruising altitude of 4,000 m. By what
percent must the power be increased if the same airplane were to maintain its 280 km/h flight
speed at 500 m altitude?

Integrating the equation of motion, as applied to all particles in a system, yields ∑mi(vi)1+∑∫t2t1Fidt=∑mi(vi)2 where mi is the ith particle's mass, vi is the ith particle's velocity, and Fi is the external force that acts on the ith particle. This relationship states that the sum of the initial linear momenta, at time t1, and the impulses of all the external forces acting between times t1 and t2 is equal to the sum of the linear momenta of the system, at time t2. If the system has a mass center, G, the expression becomes m(vG)1+∑∫t2t1Fidt=m(vG)2 This expression allows the principle of linear impulse and momentum to be applied to a system of particles that is represented as a single particle.
