A jet aircraft is traveling at 260 m/s in horizontal flight. The engine takes in air at a rate of 53.3 kg/s and burns fuel at a

rate of 3.63 kg/s. The exhaust gases are ejected at 317 m/s relative to the aircraft. Find the thrust of the jet engine. Answer in units of N.

Answer:

The thrust of the jet engine is 4188.81 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed = 260 m/s

Rate in air= 53.3 kg/s

Rate of fuel = 3.63 kg/s

Relative speed = 317 m/s

We need to calculate the rate of mass change in the rocket

Using formula of rate of mass

\dfrac{dM}{dt}=\dfrac{dM_{a}}{dt}+\dfrac{dM_{f}}{dt}

Put the value into the formula

\dfrac{dM}{dt}=53.3+3.63

\dfrac{dM}{dt}=56.93\ kg/s

We need to calculate the thrust of the jet engine

Using formula of thrust

T=\dfrac{dM}{dt}u-\dfrac{dM_{a}}{dt}v

Put the value into the formula

T=56.93\times317-53.3\times260

T=4188.81\ N

Hence, The thrust of the jet engine is 4188.81 N.

A sample of a gas has a volume of 639 cm3 when the pressure is 75.9 kPa. What is the volume of the gas when the pressure is incr
const2013 [10]

Answer:

388 cm^3

Explanation:

For this problem, we can use Boyle's law, which states that for a gas at constant temperature, the product between pressure and volume remains constant:

pV=const.

which can also be rewritten as

p_1 V_1 = p_2 V_2

In our case, we have:

p_1 = 75.9 kPa is the initial pressure

V_1 = 639 cm^3 is the initial volume

p_2 = 125 kPa is the final pressure

Solving for V2, we find the final volume:

v_2 = \frac{p_1 V_1}{p_2}=\frac{(75.9)(639)}{125}=388 cm^3

Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

d ≈ 7,6 g/cm³  

Explanation:

d = m/V = 40g/5,27cm³ ≈ 7,6 g/cm³

V = l³ = (1.74cm)³ ≈ 5,27 cm³

The distance between Earth and Mars is 225 million km. When converted using the conversion factor 1 AU = 1.5 × 108 km, the dista
noname [10]
To convert km to AU, we divide 225,000,000 km by the factor of 1.5 x 10^8 = 150,000,000 km. This gives us 225,000,000 / 150,000,000 = 1.5 AU. Therefore, the distance between Earth and Mars in AU is 1.5 AU.
The AU is not equivalent to a light-year. A light-year is equivalent to around 9.5 x 10^12 kilometers.

Which of the following best describes transverse waves?
den301095 [7]

Best Answer: perpendicular to the direction of wave motion

think of you and a friend holding different ends of a rope. you shake your end side to side and the wave travels down to your friend's end. if you pay attention to a given segment of the rope, it moves, but it moves to the right and left while the wave travels forward. in a transverse wave, the constituents of the wave move perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave itself.

a longitudinal wave, on the other hand, is the opposite. the constituents of the wave alternate moving in the same or opposite direction as the wave moves. this one is more like if you and your friend were holding onto a slinky. you give your end a push towards your friend, and you can see the wave move towards the other end.

hope that helps :D
