You happen to observe, from a stationary ocean vessel, a dragon capsule at an altitudeof 40,000 ft in the final stages of reentry traveling 600 m/s. For this problem, you may assume that the velocity is changing slowly enough to apply a steady flow analysis.(a) Just behind the bow shock, what is the flow velocity from your perspective onthe ground? Take the direction of motion of the capsule as positive and assumeno wind.(b) Compute the temperature behind the bow shock and the temperature at thesurface stagnation point.(c) Compute the total temperature of the pre-shock and post-shock gas as observedfrom the ground and observed by an astronaut watching from inside the capsule.Compare and contrast your results.

In a carnival booth, you can win a stuffed giraffeif you toss a quarter into a small dish. The dish is on a shelf abovethe point where the quarter leaves your hand and is a horizontal distanceof 2.1 m from this point (Fig. ). If you toss the coin witha velocity of 6.4 m/s at an angle of 60 above the horizontal, the coinwill land in the dish. Ignore air resistance. (a) What is the height of theshelf above the point where the quarter leaves your hand? (b) What isthe vertical component of the velocity of the quarter just before it landsin the dish?
If you are not sure pass it. I dont want wrong answers, hand written solution is also fine but wrong answer i will report. A body of mass 5 kg is projected vertically upward with an initial velocity 17 meters per second. The gravitational constant is 9.8 m/s2. The air resistance is equal to k|v| where k is a constant. (1)Find a formula for the velocity at any time v(t) in terms of k. (2)Find the limit of this velocity for a fixed time (t0) as the air resistance coefficient k goes to zero.

If a vertical wall at temperature T, is surrounded by a fluid at temperature T, a natural convection boundary layer flow will form. For laminar flow, the momentum equation is au ди. p(u-+ v) = PB(T – T)g + µ- ди ay to be solved, along with continuity and energy, for (u, v, T) with appropriate boundary conditions. The quantity B is the thermal expansion coefficient of the fluid. Use p, g, L, and (Tw- To) to nondimensionalize this equation. Note that there is no “stream" velocity in this type of flow.

The SR-71 Blackbird, which is 107 feet 5 inches long, is the world’s fastest airplane. It can fly at three times the speed of sound (Mach 3) at altitudes of 80,000f t. When it lands after a long flight it is too hot to be touched for about 30 minutes, and is 6.0 inches longer than at takeoff. How hot is the Blackbird when it lands, assuming its coefficient of linear expansion is 2.4 × 10−5K−1 and its temperature at takeoff is 23oC?
