Problem P. 4851. (May 2016)

P. 4851. In aerodynamics the Mach number is the ratio of the speed of the object moving in air and the local speed of sound.

During a fighter aircraft training one of the fighters ascends from a region of \(\displaystyle 0~{}^\circ\)C air at a height of some kilometres, while its speed increases from 1.5 Mach to 1.75 Mach. Due to the jet powered engine the fighter's kinetic energy increased by 20%, and its mass decreased by 1%.

\(\displaystyle a)\) What is the temperature of the air (in \(\displaystyle {}^\circ\)C) at the height to which the fighter moved?

\(\displaystyle b)\) How much did the fighter ascend, and what is its final speed if the temperature of the air decreases \(\displaystyle 0.65~{}^\circ\) in each 100 m increase in height?
