1. You hear a sonic boom and immediately look up to see where the plane is. Instead of a plane, you see an alien spacecraft 55° above the horizon. V sound sina = Vsource (a) How fast is the alien spacecraft traveling? (b) If the alien spacecraft has an altitude of 6000 m, how long ago did it pass overhead? (c) Draw a picture of the soundwaves emitted by the alien spacecraft. Mark the interference that creates the shockwave.

A low-altitude meteorological research balloon, temperature sensor, and radio transmitter together weigh 3.1 lb. When inflated with helium, the ballon is spherical with a diameter size of 5.5 feet. The volume of the trasmitter can be neglected when compared to the ballon's size. The ballon is released from ground level and quickly reaches its terminal ascent velocity. Neglecting variations in the atmosphere's density, how long does it take the ballon to reach an altitude of 1000ft?
The question is: Calculate the velocity of sound propagating in water at 20 degrees C. Assume that the bulk modulus of water K = 2.2 X 109 Pa. I have a= square root of (K/p) I'm coming up with 1485 m/s. The answer is supposed to be 1461 m/s. What am I doing wrong.
An airplane approaches at an altitude of 10 km flying at 600 km/hr. 1. What would you hear, and when would you hear it, if the plane were "hypersonic", traveling three times the speed of sound, or "Mach 3"? That's approximately the fastest military aircraft in routine service today. note: To have higher speeds in the air takes considerably more energy. For example, after two and half minutes of flight, when the first-stage main engines of the Space X Falcon shut down, it is 80 kilometers high and moving at Mach 10 on its way to Earth orbit. The Mach number depends on the temperature of the air.
It is true, that lower frequency waves travel at a slower rate than high frequency sounds? Yes or no?
Water particle motions in a small amplitude wave system have resulted in the following data for a depth h = 1 m, at a location z = −0:5 m : (i) major semi-axis of trajectories = 0.1 m; (ii) minor semi-axis of trajectories = 0.05 m. Find wave height, period and length.
Two pressure sensors are located at the seafloor: one is 100 m and the other is 500 m off the coastline. For a wave train of 10-s period, the pressure sensor closer to the shoreline measures the non-hydrostatic pressure amplitude as 5911 Pa and the other sensor measures the pressure amplitude as 4987 Pa. Given that the wave height is , what is the average bathymetric slope between the two pressure sensors? Take the magnitude of the gravitational acceleration as and the density of the seawater as . (Hint: Assume that the wave height has negligible variation between the two observation points.)
While driving around a curve of 200-m radius, an engineer notes that a pendulum in the car hangs at an angle of 15 degrees to the vertical. What should the speedometer read?
How much energy would it take to raise a can of soda (m = 350 grams) to average cruising altitude (35,000 ft)? Our textbook states that a gallon of gasoline contains 1.2×108 Joules of energy. Assuming 100% efficiency, how many gallons of gasoline would it take to raise the can of soda to 35,000 ft? A calorie is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 Celsius degree (4.186 J). A nutritional Calorie is actually 1000 calories (1 Cal = 1 kcal). How many Calories of energy does it take to raise the can of soda to cruising altitude? Given that a can of Coke is about 140 Calories, how many cans of coke does it take to raise a can of coke to cruising altitude?

Air flows parallel to a speed limit sign along the highway at speed V = 8.5 m/s. The temperature of the air is 25°C, and the width W of the sign parallel to the flow direction (i.e., its length) is 0.45 m. Is the boundary layer on the sign laminar or turbulent or transitional?

If the tow speed is12 kn (1 kn = 1.69 ft/s), estimate the horsepower requiredto tow this cylinder. What will be the frequency of vorticesshed from the cylinder? Use Figs.
The New England Merchants Bank Building in Boston is 152 m high. On windy days it sways with a frequency of 0.17 Hz, and the acceleration of the top of the building can reach 2.0% of the free-fall acceleration, enough to causediscomfort for occupants. What is the total distance, side to side, that the top of the building moves during such an oscillation?
