In 1976, the SR-71A, flying at 20 km altitude (T = –56 0C), set the official jet-powered aircraft speed record of 3530 km/hr (21

93 mi/hr). Calculate the Mach number. Estimate the temperature at its front stagnation point.

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the calculation of the speed of sound, the calculation of the Mach number and finally the calculation of the temperature at the front stagnation point. We will calculate the speed in international units as well as the temperature. With these values we will calculate the speed of the sound and the number of Mach. Finally we will calculate the temperature at the front stagnation point.

The altitude is,

z = 20km

And the velocity can be written as,

V = 3530km/h (\frac{1000m}{1km})(\frac{1h}{3600s})

V = 980.55m/s

From the properties of standard atmosphere at altitude z = 20km temperature is

T = 216.66K

k = 1.4

R = 287 J/kg

Velocity of sound at this altitude is

a = \sqrt{kRT}

a = \sqrt{(1.4)(287)(216.66)}

a = 295.049m/s

Then the Mach number

Ma = \frac{V}{a}

Ma = \frac{980.55}{296.049}

Ma = 3.312

So front stagnation temperature

T_0 = T(1+\frac{k-1}{2}Ma^2)

T_0 = (216.66)(1+\frac{1.4-1}{2}*3.312^2)

T_0 = 689.87K

Therefore the temperature at its front stagnation point is 689.87K

Answer: 1175 J

Explanation:

Hooke's Law states that "the strain in a solid is proportional to the applied stress within the elastic limit of that solid."

Given

Spring constant, k = 102 N/m

Extension of the hose, x = 4.8 m

from the question, x(f) = 0 and x(i) = maximum elongation = 4.8 m

Work done =

W = 1/2 k [x(i)² - x(f)²]

Since x(f) = 0, then

W = 1/2 k x(i)²

W = 1/2 * 102 * 4.8²

W = 1/2 * 102 * 23.04

W = 1/2 * 2350.08

W = 1175.04

W = 1175 J

Therefore, the hose does a work of exactly 1175 J on the balloon

Describe at least four of the requirements (facts) that any model of solar system formation must include (according to the nebul
kvasek [131]
The nebular theory describes the formation of the solar system and states that the system began as a gigantic cloud of gas and dust called a nebula which eventually condensed to form the sun, planets and other objects in the solar system. The first fact speaks to the formation of the planets, where gravity pulled larger clumps of material closer to form solid rocky planets closer to the sun and gas giants further out. The second requirement is that a nearby explosion or super nova would have to disturb our nebula to trigger rotation and the eventual formation of the sun. The third requirement/fact is that the planets go around the sun in the same direction. the last fact is that the planets go around the sun within 6 degrees of a common plane. This indicates that the solar system formed from a spinning disk of materials.

A 2011 Porsche 911 Turbo S goes from 0-27 m/s in 2.5 seconds. What is the car's acceleration?
Natalka [10]

Answer:

-10.8m/s^2

Explanation:

a=change in velocity/change in time

-27 m/s/2.5=10.8m/s^2

or if its not negative

27m/s/2.5=10.8m/s^2
