An F/A-18F Super Hornet weighing 22,000 kg is flying at Mach 0.7 at an altitude of 3.5 km. The plane has a length of 18.3 m, a wingspan of 13.6 m and a height of 4.9 m. Assume that the shape of the aircraft can be approximated by a flat rectangular plate. (a) Calculate the thrust force required to maintain level flight and constant speed. (b) If the pilot suddenly changes pitch to fly straight up, determine whether he will...

A cargo plane is flying horizontally at an altitude of 11.7 km with a constant speed of 900 km/hr when a large crate slides out of the rear of the plane. (a) How long does it take the crate to hit the ground? The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s 2 . Answer in units of s. (b) What is the horizontal distance of the crate from the point it fell off to the point where it hits the ground?...

A plane flying horizontally at an altitude of 5 mi and a speed of 470 mi/h passes directly over a radar station. Find the rate at which the distance from the plane to the station is increasing when it is 7 mi away from the station. For full credit I expect to see a well-labeled picture. Show all work. Round your final answer to the nearest whole number. Do not round intermediate values. Include units of measure in your answer.
