Question 2 of 22

1

What is the basic description of the functioning of a turbine engine?

Select one or more of the following:

  • Air is drawn (or rammed), via the intake, into a multi-stage compressor, fuel is added and ignited in the combustor, and the air is expanded through the turbine stages before being expelled out the back of the engine

  • Air is drawn (or rammed), via the intake, into a multi-stage compressor, fuel is added and ignited in the combustor, and the air is compressed through the turbine stages before being expelled out the back of the engine

  • Air is drawn (or rammed), via the intake, into a one-stage compressor, fuel is added and ignited in the combustor, and the air is compressed through the turbine stages before being expelled out the back of the engine

  • Air is drawn (or rammed), via the intake, into a one-stage compressor, fuel is added and ignited in the combustor, and the air is expanded through the turbine stages before being expelled out the back of the engine

Explanation

Question 4 of 22

1

What is newtons third law?

Select one or more of the following:

  • For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction

  • Every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of motion unless an external force is applied to it.

  • The relationship between an object's mass m, its acceleration a, and the applied force F is F = ma. Acceleration and force are vectors (as indicated by their symbols being displayed in slant bold font); in this law the direction of the force vector is the same as the direction of the acceleration vector.
