Early test flights for the space shuttle used a "glider" (mass of 940 kg including pilot). After a horizontal launch at 460 km/h at a height of 4000 m , the glider eventually landed at a speed of 200 km/h

What would its landing speed have been in the absence of air resistance?

If the mass of a Boeing 747 is 183,025 kg and a space shuttle is 2,030,000 kg, use the specific heats to explain why aluminum or aluminum composites are the preferred metal for building these machines if the temperatures they are subjected to range from -54 °C to 150 °C for planes and -121°C to 1649°C for space shuttles. The specific heats of Fe is 449 J/kg*K, Ti is 523 J/kg*K, Al is 897 J/kg*K, and carbon fiber composites are...
