Textbook Question
Chapter 6, Problem 2ICA
Decide on the type of problem for each question.
- a. Given human reaction times as a function of age and information regarding the braking distances of cars as a function of speed, what are appropriate following distances for driving?
- b. Parachute manufacturers provide the fall speed of an open chute as a function of person weight. If we open our chute at 3000 ft, how long will it take to land?
- c. Which will cool more quickly, one cup of coffee or two cups half full?
- d. Estimate the force required to accelerate a mass of 61.4 kilograms at a rate of 2.9 m/s2.
- e. At a party, we blow up a balloon. After three quick breaths, we pause and then wonder how much greater the surface area will be if we add another three breaths.
- f. Tom drives from his home to a nearby town that is 20 miles away at 30 miles per hour. He wishes to drive back home at a speed that will allow him to average 60 miles per hour for the round trip. How fast should he drive on the return trip?
- g. To construct a concrete patio, the soil is leveled and gravel is laid on the area. Concrete is poured on top of this. The thickness of the gravel layer needs to be determined based on the gravel size. For small pebble size (average size 4 mm), the layer must be the same thickness as the concrete. For medium size (average 16 mm), it must be two times thicker, and for large size (64 mm), it must be three times thicker. We need to prepare a design chart that will allow us to select the proper thickness of concrete immediately as the gravel is delivered. (We donʼt know what the gravel size will be until the shipment arrives.) Once on site, a quick test will provide the gravel size; we do know, however, it will be somewhere between 4 millimeters and 50 millimeters.
- h. A firefighter aims a stream of water just over the top of a 50-foot flagpole. If the firefighter stands 60 feet away from the pole, about how far does the water stream travel before hitting the ground?
- i. The drag generated by a parachute (which keeps us from falling faster) depends on the falling speed squared. If a 100-pound person falls at 10 feet per second, how fast will a 200-pound person fall?

- as an aerospace engineering student, where do you utilize flight simulators?arrow_forwardTrue Story! The 1998-1999 Mars Climate Orbiter mission was declared a total loss in1999 as there was a unit conversion mismatch error between Lockheed Martin and NASA. Themismatch was in the thruster force units. NASA used the SI system which called forNewton-Seconds (4.45 times as large) of thrust and Lockheed Martin used Pound-Force Seconds.Calculations placed the Orbiter at 68 miles from the surface as it went into orbit, but it waswithin 57 km of the surface after the breaking maneuver. Any distance from the surface lessthan 50 miles would have caused the Orbiter to crash.a. What was the actual distance of the Orbiter from the surface in miles?b. In percentage, how far off from the calculated 68 miles was the Orbiter?arrow_forwardDescription Solve the following problems following the correct procedure; be sure to show the equations used to solve the problem, a diagram, a list of known and unknown variables, as well as the units of the answer.

- ! Required information NOTE: This is a multi-part question. Once an answer is submitted, you will be unable to return to this part. At an intersection car B was traveling south and car A was traveling 30° north of east when they slammed into each other. Upon investigation, it was found that after the crash, the two cars got stuck and skidded off at an angle of 10° north of east. Each driver claimed that he was going at the speed limit of 50 km/h and that he tried to slow down, but couldn't avoid the crash because the other driver was going a lot faster. The masses of cars A and B were 1500 kg and 1200 kg, respectively. 10° 30° VR Determine the speed of the faster of the two cars if the slower car was traveling at the speed limit. The speed of the faster car was km/h.arrow_forwardFour months into a six month deployment, you are a solo pilot returning to home base after an uneventful overwatch mission to a non-disclosed desert location. Your mission was extended 90 minutes requiring at least one additional aerial refuel. The moon has now set. A shift in prevailing winds causes an infrequently used runway to be active. You are less familiar with the approach to this runway and have only used it during VFR conditions. The instrument approach plate reveals you will fly a prolonged DME arc taking you out over the unlit desert away from the dimly lit base. While flying the above instrument approach, you take another look at the approach plate. When you look up again the airfield lights are visible through the upper portion of your canopy. You did not sense any change in your aircraft attitude. Which of the following best describes what happened while you looked at the approach plate? OA.
