Answer:
L/D= 112
Explanation:
Aerodynamics can be defined as the branch of dynamics which deals with the motion of air, their properties and the interaction between the air and solid bodies.
Aerodynamics law explains how an airplane is able to fly. There are four forces of flight, and they are; lift, weight, thrust and drag. The amount of lift generated by a wing divided by the aerodynamic drag is known as the lift to drag ratio.
Lift increases proportionally to the square of the speed.
The solutions to the question is the file attached to this explanation.
Lift,L= qC(l). S---------------------------(1).
and,
Drag,D = qC(d).S ----------------------(2).
Hence, Lift to drag ratio,L/D= C(l)/C(d).
Therefore, we have to compute various angle of attack.(check attached file)...
Then, (L/D) will then be equal to 112.

Answer:
s = 1.7 m
Explanation:
from the question we are given the following:
Mass of package (m) = 5 kg
mass of the asteriod (M) = 7.6 x 10^{20} kg
radius = 8 x 10^5 m
velocity of package (v) = 170 m/s
spring constant (k) = 2.8 N/m
compression (s) = ?
Assuming that no non conservative force is acting on the system here, the initial and final energies of the system will be the same. Therefore
• Ei = Ef
• Ei = energy in the spring + gravitational potential energy of the system
• Ei = \frac{1}{2}ks^{2} + \frac{GMm}{r}
• Ef = kinetic energy of the object
• Ef = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}
• \frac{1}{2}ks^{2} + (-\frac{GMm}{r}) = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}
• s =
s =
s = 1.7 m
