Chapter 18, Problem 6RQ
An unmanned X-43A scramjet test vehicle has achieved a maximum speed of Mach number 9.68 in a test flight over the Pacific Ocean. Mach number is defined as the speed of an object divided by the speed of sound. Assuming the speed of sound is 343 meters per second, write a MAT LAB program that asks the user to provide a speed as a Mach number, calculates the corresponding speed in miles per hour, and displays the speed in a formatted sentence as shown in the following sample output. Note that the speed in mph should be shown as an integer. If the user provides a negative value for the Mach number, your program should display an error message and terminate.
Enter the speed as a Mach number: -2
Error: The Mach number must not be negative.
Enter the speed as a Mach number: 0
The speed of the plane is 0 mph.
Enter the speed as a Mach number: 9.68
The speed of the plane is 7425 mph.

Chapter 7, Problem 63, there is an 'h' value that is solved when expressing half the width of the Rankine Oval that I am not quite understanding the process by which the value is solved for. Could you break down the process by which h=0.02423 m?
It's been a while since I was last in school, so the mathematical method by which 'h' was solved is a little unclear to me.
After years of asking, you finally were allowed to go on a joy ride in your uncle’s 1956 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL. A notable feature of this vehicle is the gullwing door design that opens from a hinge at the top of the car. Unfortunately, you are having so much fun driving the car that you end up submerged in a fresh water lake. You sink to the bottom of the lake, which has a depth of 10 m. For the sake of simplicity, you can model the door as a 1 m × 1 m square plate, inclined at 45° relative to the floor of the lake. Neglect the weight of the door and friction in the hinge. How much force will be required to open the door, assuming you push from its geometric center?

We fill our tires with air, or with nitrogen, but it always works out the same way. Enough gas goes in, the tire inflates, and then the pressure starts going up. In this assignment, we’ll be investigating the ways that the gas laws impact how we treat our tires. Q1. I have good information that in Fast 29, Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) will need to refill a tire quickly during a dramatic moment. For this reason, he has a 3.00 L tank of compressed air that is under 2.7892*103 mmHg and is kept cool in dry ice at -35.0 °C. When Dom hooks his compressed air up to his completely empty 10.50 L tire at 39.2 °C and lets it run, what will his final tire pressure be, in atm? Assume all the air is transferred into the tire. Is his tire pressure above the 2.31 atm that he needs to save the planet/his family/his crew? Q2. Your car tire pressure sensor looks to see when your tire pressure…arrow_forward

The estimated usage is 3 hours per day , at a cost of $0.11 per kilowatt-hour . Based on energy cost alone - not considering the cost to replace any light bulbs and not considering any changes in energy cost with time - how much money in dollars would this household have saved over a 66-year time span (from 1955 to 2021) by changing from incandescent to LED bulbs?arrow_forwardUsing MATLAB editor, make a script m-file which includes a header block and comments: Utilizing the ideal gas law: Vmol= RT/P Calculate the molecular volume where: R = 0.08206 L-atm/(mol-K) P = 1.015 atm. and T = 270 - 315 K in 5 degree increments Make a display matrix which has the values of T in the first column and Vmol in the second column Save the script and publish function to create a pdf file from the script in a file named "ECE105_Wk2_L1_Prep_1"arrow_forward
- In the United States, electricity is sold using the SI units of kilowatt (kW) or megawatt (MW), and fuel for power generation stations is generally purchased using English units, e.g., British thermal unit (Btu), gallon (gal), and ton. An industrial power plant has an average annual load of 100 MW (electrical). If the overall thermal efficiency is 33% (based on HHV), what is the annual cost of fuel if the plant is fired with (a) natural gas, (b) No. 2 fuel oil, and (c) bituminous coal? Use the data from Tables 2.2, 2.7, and 2.13. Assume the cost of natural gas is $5/million Btu, the cost of No. 2 fuel oil is $3/gal, and the cost of bituminous coal is $60/ton (1 ton = 2000 lbm)arrow_forwardEngr 215 Matlab Fahrenheit to Celsius using multiple statements Given a Fahrenheit value temperatureFahrenheit, write a statement that assigns temperatureCelsius with the equivalent Celsius value.
