A jet airplane is travelling at a speed of 1000km/h.it ejects its products at the speed of 800km/h relative to the jet plane.what is the speed of the latter with respect to an observer at the ground?
Answers
= velocity of jet relative to ground observer = 1000 km/h
= velocity of products relative to jet =- 800 km/h (negative sign indicates that the products are ejected in opposite direction of the motion of jet)
= velocity of products relative to ground
Using the equation
= -
= - 800 - 1000
= - 1800 km/h
the negative sign indicates the downward direction.
Since we have been asked for the speed , we ignore the negative sign.
so speed = 1800 km/h

Speed of the jet airplane, v jet = 500 km/h
Relative speed of its products of combustion with respect to the plane,
v smoke = – 1500 km/h
Speed of its products of combustion with respect to the ground = v′smoke
Relative speed of its products of combustion with respect to the airplane,
vsmoke = v′smoke – vjet
1500 = v′smoke – 500
v′smoke = – 1000 km/h
The negative sign indicates that the direction of its products of combustion is opposite to the direction of motion of the jet airplane.
I hope, this will help you
