Chapter 19, Problem 2RQ
An unmanned X-43A scramjet test vehicle has achieved a maximum speed of Mach number 9.68 in a test flight over the Pacific Ocean. Mach number is defined as the speed of an object divided by the speed of sound. Assuming the speed of sound is 343 meters per second, write a MAT LAB program that asks the user to provide a speed as a Mach number, calculates the corresponding speed in miles per hour, and displays the speed in a formatted sentence as shown in the following sample output. Note that the speed in mph should be shown as an integer. If the user provides a negative value for the Mach number, your program should display an error message and terminate.
Enter the speed as a Mach number: -2
Error: The Mach number must not be negative.
Enter the speed as a Mach number: 0
The speed of the plane is 0 mph.
Enter the speed as a Mach number: 9.68
The speed of the plane is 7425 mph.

The Antoine Equation can be used to estimate vapor pressure at various temperatures for different substances using sets of empirically-derived constants. The equation can be written as:
Where for water A = 8.07131, B = 1730.63, C = 233.426, T = temperature [°C], and P = vapor pressure [mmHg]. Note that with these constants the temperature and pressure must be provided in °C and mmHg, respectively.
Using the Antoine Equation and the provided constants, what atmospheric pressure (provided in terms of % of standard atmospheric pressure) will permit water to boil at 75 °C?

- When a model rocket is launched, the propellant burns for a few seconds, accelerating the rocket upward. After burnout, the rocket coasts upward for a while and then begins to fall. A small explosive charge pops out a parachute shortly after the rocket starts down. The parachute slows the rocket to keep it from breaking when it lands. The figure here shows the velocity data from the flight of the model rocket. Use the data to complete parts (a) through (g).

There are two experiments for this activity – make sure you include both. Experiment #1: Acceleration vs. Force In this lab you will determine the relationship between acceleration and net force. Choose a mass at the beginning, and keep it constant for this entire experiment. Set the friction to zero. This will make your Applied Force equal to the net force. Record data for five different values of Applied Force. Graph Acceleration vs. Net Force. Graph this in Google sheets(you want a line graph - it should only have one line).
