Answer 1

Answer:

a) take off speed of jet in m/s =  148.3 m/s

b) we need to depress a spring for distance of 39.79 m.

Explanation:

Given:

F = 86000 N

m =7200 kg

d = 0.92 Km= 920 m

a) To find take off speed of jet in m/s

We know that work done is given by

W = F x d ...........(equation 1)

F is force and d is displacement

Also work done in terms of kinetic energy KE and potential energy PE is given by

W = PE + KE

PE = $\frac{1}{2}$m$v^{2}$

Initial velocity is zero hence, PE = 0

Hence W = KE

W = $\frac{1}{2}$m$vt^{2}$................(equation 2)

From equation 1 and 2, we get

F x d =  $\frac{1}{2}$m$vt^{2}$

vt = $\sqrt{\frac{2Fd}{m} }$

   = $\sqrt{\frac{2 x 86000 x 920}{7200} }$

   =148.25

 vt  = 148.3 m/s

Hence proved

b) To find how far giant spring must be depressed (in meters)

Given

spring constant K = 100000 N/m

We know that for a spring, kinetic energy KE is equal to elastic potential energy EPE

KE =   $\frac{1}{2}$m$vt^{2}$  

EPE =  $\frac{1}{2}$k$x^{2}$ , where k is spring constant and x is displacement (here distance of depression)

KE = EPE

$\frac{1}{2}$m$vt^{2}$  = $\frac{1}{2}$k$x^{2}$

x = $\sqrt{\frac{mv^{2} }{k} }$

  = $\sqrt{\frac{7200 x 148.3^{2} }{100000} }$

  = 39.79 m

Hence we need to depress a spring of 39.79 m.
