The propeller of a small airplane has a 2-m-diameter slipstream and produces a thrust of 3600 N when the airplane is at rest on the ground. Assuming p = 1.225 kg/m3 for air, determine (a) the speed of the air in the slipstream, (b) the volume of air passing through the propeller per second, (c) the kinetic energy imparted per second to the air in the slipstream.

An astronaut in his space suit and with a propulsion unit (empty of its gas propellant) strapped to his back has a mass of 146 kg. The astronaut begins a space walk at rest, with a completely filled propulsion unit. During the space walk, the unit ejects some gas with a velocity of +43 m/s. As a result, the astronaut recoils with a velocity of -0.39 m/s. After the gas is ejected, the mass of the astronaut (now wearing a partially empty propulsion unit) is 165 kg. What percentage of the gas propellant was ejected from the completely filled propulsion unit?
A metal plate has a horizontal width of 3 m and a vertical height of 2 m. The density of the plate is uniform, meaning that the mass is evenly distributed. Let’s consider the origin to be the bottom left of the plate. That means the center of mass of the plate is _____x + _________ym.
A 9.00 g bullet is fired horizontally into a 1.20 kg wooden block resting on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of kinetic friction between block and surface is 0.20. The bullet remains embedded in the block, which is observed to slide 0.390 m along the surface before stopping. What was the initial speed of the bullet? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
One of the first ion engines on a commercial satellite usedXenon as a propellant and could eject the ionized gas at a rateof 3.03 x 1026 kg/s with an exhaust speed of 3.04 x 104 m/s.What instantaneous thrust could the engine provide?
A car with mass mc = 1221 kg is traveling west through an intersection at a magnitude of velocity of vc = 14 m/s when a truck of mass mt = 1999 kg traveling south at vt = 7.6 m/s fails to yield and collides with the car.

"Consider water flow through a horizontal, short garden hose at a rate of 36 kg/min. The velocity at the inlet is 1.7 m/s and that at the outlet is 14.7 m/s. Disregard the weight of the hose and water. Taking the momentum-flux correction factor to be 1.08 at both the inlet and the outlet, the anchoring force (in N; hint: the answer is a negative number) required to hold the hose in place is ?"

You are holding a basketball and standing at rest on top of a skateboard. If you throw the basketball (of mass 0.625 kg) at a velocity of 7 m/s along the horizontal and you and the skateboard together have a mass of 85 kg, what is the magnitude of your velocity just after throwing the ball? Assume you can ignore air resistance, rolling resistance, and friction.
