Which of the following can be spin-stabilized?

A)

Bullet trains

B)

Artificial satellites

C)

Commercial aircrafts

D)

Unguided rocket projectiles

Correct Answer : Unguided rocket projectiles

Explanation : Unguided rocket projectiles can be given a rotation about its longitudinal axis by means of inclined fins or smaller rocket nozzles to stabilize it. This is an example of spin stabilization.

For an airplane undergoing a steady pull-up maneuver along a curved flight path of the constant angle of attack, constant pitch rate of 20°/s, and having a radius of curvature of 150 m, determine the flight velocity.

A)

38.33 m/s

B)

47.66 m/s

C)

52.36 m/s

D)

69.42 m/s

Correct Answer : Option (C) : 52.36 m/s

Explaination : Pitch rate q = V/R
Then, V = qR = 20 x π/180 x 150 = 52.36 m/s.

Determine the period of revolution of an artificial satellite in a circular orbit of altitude 350 km.

A)

1.266 hrs

B)

1.395 hrs

C)

1.525 hrs

D)

1.738 hrs

Correct Answer : Option (C) : 1.525 hrs

Explanation : T=2π(R₀+h)^3/2/√μ
= 2×3.14x(6728000)^3/2/(3.986×10¹⁴)
= 1.525 hrs.
