the idling engines of a landing turbojet produce forward thrust when operating in a normal manner, but they can produce reverse
Finger [1]

Forward thrust has positive values and reverse thrust has negative values.

Thrust is a sudden push or pull in a certain direction.

a)

Flight speed u = 150 km/h

1 km/h = \frac{1}{3.6} km/s

therefore, 150 km/h =  41.67 km / s

The thrust force represents the horizontal or x-component of momentum equation:

T = m_{exhaust} * U_{exhaust} - U_{flight}

T = 50 * (150 - 41.67)

T = 5416.67 N

Therefore, the value of forward thrust is 5416.67 N.

b)

Now the exhaust velocity is now vertical due to reverse thrust application, then it has a zero horizontal component,

thus thrust equation is:

T = m_{exhaust} * U_{exhaust} - U_{flight}

T = 50 * (0 - 41.67)

T = -2083.5 N

Therefore, the thrust force T is -2083.5 N in the reverse direction.

c)

Now the exhaust velocity and flight velocity is zero, then it has a zero horizontal component, thus thrust is also zero becauseU_{exhaust} = U_{flight} = 0\\

T = 0

Therefore, there is no difference in two velocities in x direction.

The given question is incomplete, the complete question is,

"The idling engines of a landing turbojet produce forward thrust when operating in a normal manner, but they can produce reverse thrust if the jet is properly deflected. Suppose that while the aircraft rolls down the runway at 150 km/h the idling engine consumes air at 50 kg/s and produces an exhaust velocity of 150 m/s.

a. What is the forward thrust of this engine?

b. What are the magnitude and direction (i.e., forward or reverse) if the exhaust is deflected 90 degree without affecting the mass flow?

c. What are the magnitude and direction of the thrust (forward or reverse) after the plane has come to a stop, with 90 degree exhaust deflection and an airflow of 40 kg/s?"

If you place a glass cylinder in Wessin Oil, the view of the cylinder nearly disappeared when the eyedropper was full of Wessin
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

A. the indices of refraction matched

Explanation:

The index of refraction, or refractive

index, is a measure of how fast light

rays travel through a given medium.

Alternatively, it could be said that

the refractive index is the measure of

the bending of a light ray when

passing from one medium to

another. Mathematically, it can be

represented as a ratio between two

different velocities – the velocity of

light in vacuum and the velocity of

light in a given medium.

For example, try putting a pencil in a jar full of water. If you look at the pencil from above, it would look as though the pencil has bent in the water. That happens due to the refraction of light. It occurs because as light rays enter water, they slow down, as the speed of light in water is lower than the speed of light in air. The magnitude of how much a medium refracts a light ray is determined by the index

An air compressor compresses 6 L of air at 120 kPa and 22°C to 1000 kPa and 400°C. Determine the flow work, in kJ/kg, required b
Mariana [72]

Answer:

The work flow required by the compressor = 100.67Kj/kg

Explanation:

The solution to this question is obtained from the energy balance where the initial and final specific internal energies and enthalpies are taken from A-17 table from the given temperatures using interpolation .

The work flow can be determined using the equation:

M1h1 + W = Mh2

U1 + P1alph1 + ◇U + Workflow = U2 + P2alpha2

Workflow = P2alpha2 - P1alpha1

Workflow = (h2 -U2) - (h1 - U1)

Workflow = ( 684.344 - 491.153) - ( 322.483 - 229.964)

Workflow = ( 193.191 - 92.519)Kj/kg

Workflow = 100.672Kj/kg

An ant travels 2.78 cm (West) and then turns and travels 6.25 cm (South 40 degrees East). What is the ant's total displacement?
andrey2020 [161]
From\ cosine\ theorem:\\\\
c^2=a^2+b^2-2abcos(\angle between\ a\ and\ b)\\\\
a=2,78\\b=6,25\\
\angle between\ a\ and\ b=90+50=140^{\circ}\\\\
c^2=2,78^2+6,25^2-2*2,78*6,25cos(140^{\circ})\\\\
c^2=7,7284+39,0625-34,75*(-0,77)\\\\c^2=46,7909+26,7575\\\\c^2=735484\\\\c=8,58cm\\\\Total\ displacement\ is\ equal\ to\ 8,58cm.
