A jet airplance travelling at the speed of ` 500 km ^(-1)` ejects its products of combustion at the speed of ` 1500 km h^(-1)` relative to the jet plane. What is the speed of the later with respect to observer on the ground ?

Answer» Let (v -p)` be the velocity of the products w.r.t. ground, Let us consiedr the direction of moton of airplane to be positive direction of X-axis. Here, speed of jet plane, ` v_A =500 km h^(-1)`
Relative speed of products of combustion w.r.t to jet plane , v_(pA0 = - 1500 =- 1000 km h^(-10`
Relative velocity of the projucts w.r.t jet plane is
` v_(PA) = v_(p) =- v_A =- 1500 or v_p =v _A- 1500 =500 - 1500 =- 1000 km h^()-1)`
Here- ve sign shows that the direction of products of combustion os opposite to tht of the airplane.
Thus the magnitude of relative velocity is ` 1000 km h^(-1)` .
