A jet aircraft is traveling at Mach 2.5 through air at 1 °C. What is the jet's speed in m/sec?
I can do the equation myself, I just need to know what equation I need to do in order to find the answer.
mach=speed sound
what is the speed of sound at 1C?
vsound=If I remember correctly 331(1+.6TempinC)
check that formula.
get the speed of sound, multiply it by 2.5
To find the speed of the jet aircraft in meters per second (m/s), you can use the following equation:
Speed (m/s) = Mach Number x Speed of Sound in Air
The speed of sound in air varies depending on the temperature. At 1 °C, the speed of sound is approximately 343 meters per second.
So, to find the jet's speed in m/s, you can use the equation:
Speed (m/s) = 2.5 (Mach number) x 343 (speed of sound in air at 1 °C)
To calculate the speed of the jet aircraft in meters per second, you can use the equation that relates the speed of an object in Mach number to the speed of sound in air.
First, you need to determine the speed of sound in air at the given temperature. The formula to calculate the speed of sound in dry air at a particular temperature is:
Speed of Sound (in m/s) = 331.4 + 0.6 * temperature
Inserting the given temperature of 1 °C into the equation, we get:
Speed of Sound (in m/s) = 331.4 + 0.6 * 1
Simplifying,
Speed of Sound (in m/s) = 331.4 + 0.6
Now, you can use the Mach number given in the question (Mach 2.5) to calculate the speed of the jet aircraft. The Mach number is defined as the ratio of an object's speed to the speed of sound.
Speed of the Jet Aircraft (in m/s) = Mach Number * Speed of Sound
Plugging in the values:
Speed of the Jet Aircraft (in m/s) = 2.5 * (331.4 + 0.6)
Calculating this expression will give you the speed of the jet aircraft in meters per second.
