An aircraft is in level flight at 225 km/hr through air at standard conditions. The lift coefficient at this speed is 0.45 and t

he drag coefficient is 0.065. The mass of the aircraft is 900 kg. Calculate the effective lift area for the aircraft and the required engine thrust and power to maintain level flight.

Answer:

- the effective lift area for the aircraft is 8.30 m²

- the required engine thrust is 1275 N

- required power is 79.7 kW

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Speed V = 225 km/hr = 62.5 m/s

The lift coefficient CL = 0.45

drag coefficient CD = 0.065

mass = 900 kg

g = 9.81 m/s²

a)  the effective lift area for the aircraft

we know that for a steady level flight, weight = lift and thrust = drag

Using the equation for the lift force

F_L = C_L\frac{1}{2}ρV²A = W

we substitute

0.45 × \frac{1}{2} × 1.21 × ( 62.5 )² × A = ( 900 × 9.81 )

1081.05 × A = 8829

A = 8829 / 1081.05

A = 8.30 m²

Therefore, the effective lift area for the aircraft is 8.30 m²

b) the required engine thrust and power to maintain level flight.

we use the expression for drag force

F_D = T = C_D\frac{1}{2}ρV²A

we substitute

= 0.065 × \frac{1}{2} × 1.21 × ( 62.5 )² × 8.30

T = 1275 N

Since drag and thrust force are the same,

Therefore, the required engine thrust is 1275 N

Power required;

P = TV

p = 1275 × 62.5

p = 79687.5 W

p = ( 79687.5 / 1000 )kW

p = 79.7 kW

Therefore, required power is 79.7 kW

What would happen if you tried to use a prism to disperse a beam that contained only green light?​
Margaret [11]

It is determined by the nature of the green light. Because lasers create light at almost a single frequency, green laser light would appear as a thin line of pure green. Other sources of "green" light emit light at a variety of frequencies, including yellow and blue, resulting in a strong green band in the center that fades into blue-green and yellow-green at the borders.

For example, here’s a graph of the spectrum of a green LED, showing the color range: Attachment #1

and here’s a graph of the transmission spectra of several standard photographic filters, including green: Attachment #2

How long does it take for light from a star that is 8 light-years away to reach earth? A. 8 earth minutes B. 16 earth minutes C.
Hunter-Best [27]
Hey there,

Your question states: <span>How long does it take for light from a star that is 8 light-years away to reach earth?

It take just about (</span>8 earth years) <span> for light from a star that is 8 light-years away to reach earth. That is how </span>FAST it would take.

Hope this helps.

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

i. u=\frac{2s}{t}-v

ii. v=\frac{2s}{t}-u

Explanation:

i.)

s=\frac{1}{2}(u+v)t\\\\2s=(u+v)t\\\\\frac{2s}{t}=u+v\\\\\frac{2s}{t}-v=u

ii.)

s=\frac{1}{2}(u+v)t\\\\2s=(u+v)t\\\\\frac{2s}{t}=u+v\\\\\frac{2s}{t}-u=v

A billiard ball of mass m hits another one of the same mass. The first ball moves off at 30 degrees. For an elastic collision wh
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

v₁ = u₁/2√3 ≈ 0.866u₁

v₂ = u₁/2      = 0.5u₁

θ = 60°

Explanation:

let u₁ be the initial velocity of the first ball

let v₁ be the final velocity of the first ball

let v₂ be the final velocity of the second ball

For elastic collisions, the angle between the departing masses is 90°

assume the first ball initially moves along the x axis in the positive direction

conservation of momentum

In the y direction, initial momentum is zero

After the collision

mv₁sin30 = mv₂sin60

½v₁ = ½√(3)v₂

v₁ = √(3)v₂

in the x direction,

mu₁ = mv₁cos30 + mv₂cos-60

u₁ = v₁cos30 + v₂cos60

u₁ = (√(3)v₂)½√(3) + ½v₂

u₁ = 2v₂

v₂ = u₁/2

v₁ = √(3)v₂ = √(3)(u₁/2)
