<span>a) The law of conservation of momentum is satisfied because there must be air (and other combustion byproducts) expelled behind the aircraft as it moves forward. The collective momentum of those gases is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the forward momentum of the aircraft. b) The aircraft obeys conservation of energy because it is simply converting energy to different forms. In its stationary form, there existed latent chemical energy in both the fuel on board and the oxygen in the air. As the aircraft moves, some of that chemical energy is converted into kinetic energy and heat, but it is indeed conserved.</span>

Answer:

Explanation:

The difference in time will be due to travel through atmosphere where speed of light slows down. If t be the thickness of atmosphere and c be the speed of light in space and μ be the refractive index of atmosphere difference in travel time will be as follows .

difference = \frac{2t\mu }{c}-\frac{2t }{c}

=\frac{2t}{c }\left ( 1-\mu  \right )

Now t = 40 x 10³m ,μ = 1.000293 , c = 3 x 10⁸.

difference =\frac{2t\mu }{c}-\frac{2t }{c}

=\frac{2t}{c }\left ( \mu -1  \right )\\

=\frac{ 2\times 40\times 10^3}{3\times10^3 }\left ( 1.000293-1 \right )\\

=7.81\times 10^{-3} s
