An airplane weighing 5,000 lb is flying at standard sea level with a velocity of 550 mi/h. At this velocity, the L/D ratio is a maximum. The wing area and aspect ratio are 200 ft2 and 8.5, respectively. The Oswald efficiency factor is 0.93. Calculate the total drag on the airplane. Assume ?? = 0.002377 slug/ft3. (Round the final answer to one decimal place.)

The total drag on the airplane is _______lb.

An airplane is flying with a velocity of v0 at an angle of α above the horizontal. When the plane is a distance h directly above a dog that is standing on level ground, a suitcase drops out of the luggage compartment. How far from the dog will the suitcase land? You can ignore air resistance. Take the free fall acceleration to be g.

An airplane is flying at a constant horizontal velocity of 184.5 m/s and drops a rocket. The rocket falls for 10.24 s without air resistance and under the influence of gravity only, and then fires its thrusters. From the moment the thrusters are one, the rocket has a net acceleration of 5.481 direscted 30.21 degrees above the horizontal. How far apart are the plane and the rocket when the rocket passes back through the cruising altitude of the plane?

A 180-lb person jumps out of an airplane with initial upward velocity of 5 ft/s at a height of 3000 ft (assuming the air resistance is proportional to its falling speed). The air resists the body's motion with a force of 2 lb for each ft/s of speed. Assuming the constant gravity is 32 ft/s^2 (1) find its velocity v = v(t) (2) find its terminal velocity (3) find the distance of falling x = x(t) (4) find the duration...
