- Calculate the average speed of the gasoline exiting a nozzle at a gas station. Next time you go to a gas station, measure the volumetric flow rate of the gas first, and then measure the diameter of the nozzle. Use Equation (8.12) to calculate the average speed of the gasoline coming out of the nozzle. Hint: First measure the time that it takes to put so many gallons of gasoline into the gas tank!arrow_forwardA person who has a weight of 158 pound-force [lb; on Earth is travelling to Mars in a spacecraft. As long as the engines on the spacecraft are not operating, the person is essentially weightless during the voyage. During a course correction, the spacecraft undergoes an acceleration of 0.81 g. The tem "g" is the Earth-normal gravity, so 1 "g" is 9.8 meters per second squared [m's1. This acceleration makes it feel like there is gravity in the spacecraft, and the person will have a perceived weight during the acceleration period, rather than feeling weightless. Once the person reaches Mars, what is the mass, in units of kilograms [kg), and weight, in units of pound-force [lb], of the person on Mars?

The power required to maintain level flight depends on air drag or resistance at that altitude, which may be estimated by the relationship 1 power = Pe C„AU³ air where pr is density of air at the given altitude, C, represents the drag coefficient of the plane, A is the planform area, and U represents the cruising speed of the plane. Assume that a plane is moving at constant speed and, C, remaining constant, determine the ratio of power that would be required when the plane is cruising at 8000 m and when the plane is cruising at 11,000 m.arrow_forwardThe Space Shuttle orbited the Earth at altitudes from as low as 250 km to as high as 965 km, depending on its missions.
