I was watching some videos of aircraft carrier cat shots of fighter jets today (don't ask), and was surprised to see in a slow-motion closeup shot that one of the underwing pods on an FA-18 had a propeller spinning on its nose.
That seemed pretty strange to me, so I did some Google searching...
Dear all,
I'm going to give a course about black holes at an astrophysics association. The public will consist mainly of lay persons, perhaps wit a little bit of physics background. My background in General Relativity is good, but my background in astrophysics at bit less. My question is if you...
Those don't look like US fighter jets that I'm familiar with (but I could be wrong). Who is launching these US hypersonic missle tests?

I have a idea for a plasma based fusion reactor. Using a combusting hydrogen/other reactant generate a flame jet to actively confine the plasma and possibly using a helium compressed jet stream as well to bring down turbulence.
My friend already says these will destroy the plasma but I am am...
I am reading up on quasars because I am interested in the magnetic beams that emanate from their poles, accelerating material.
I read that the magnetic beams are generated by the orbiting debris the quasar is consuming.
Sorry, that doesn't sound right to me. I assumed the black hole core is...
Yes, that 737 Max. News. It's unclear if these airplanes were supposed to be delivered to customers already if the 737 Max wouldn't be grounded for other reasons, but foreign objects in more than half of the inspected planes is certainly nothing customers want to see. There are 350 more aircraft...
The 1968 New York Jets went 11-3, winning Superbowl III. The 2018 Clemson Tigers football team went 15-0, and won the National College Football championship. Obviously, the 1968 New York Jets players were a far more elite echelon of football players in 1968, relative to other football players in...
I have a question about this picture:
It shows matter traveling at relativistic velocities away from a black hole:
"Figure 5.21: This VLA image of the radio-loud quasar 3C 175 shows the core, an apparently one-sided jet, and two radio lobes with hot spots of comparable flux densities. The jet...
I have read that relativistic jets emitted by black holes are thought to contain a mixture of matter and antimatter including positrons and electrons. Is there any mechanism known that would lead to matter or electron concentration in one of the two relativistic jets, and antimatter or positron...
Hey this Quadratic application question is giving me trouble.
A jet flew from Tokyo to Bangkok, a distance of 4800km. On the return trip, the speed was decreased by 200km/h. If the difference in the times of the flights was 2 hours, what was the jets speed from Bangkok to Tokyo?
Just need the...
Two jets leave an airport at the same time, flying in opposite directions. The first jet is traveling at three hundred seventy-seven mph and the other at two hundred seventy-five mph. How long will it take for the jets to be 9128 miles apart?
My Effort:
Jet 1:
rate = 377 mph
time = x...
I wanted to ask. Since jets fly at great speed, often even supersonic, I'm curious about next things:
1) What is the relation between air resistance force and energy?
2) How does all that force resistance affect a pilot?
3) What protection do they have, if any?
4) And purely speculative...
In wingless flight packs, is it possible to replace jet / fuel engines with electric motors that fly in a similar way to jetpacks? Can electric motors also produce thrust required to lift a person upwards, enabling them to fly? If so, how would they work?
So I did this lab on momentum on jets and the theory is that "a force is applied on the plate due to change of momentum" the jet both impacted on a flat plate and on a hemispherical plate; now i understand that the greater the angle of deflection of the water jet, the greater the change of...
I have been reading in papers here and there, that di/multi-jet MC generated or even other process that have one or more associated jets are used for tag-and-probing or for training several BDTs and so on. Some experiticians (theoreticians who produce experiments) are also relying on how well...
Hello,
Question: If Sgr A were to emit relativistic jets, say... to a 90 degree angle from what we see as the Milky Way, how visible would that be to us on Earth?
The pictures I see on the internet suggest that the jets are about twice as long as galaxies themselves. This makes me think that...
I know that this has been talked about already, but from the responses, I feel the topic was not addressed to the fullest, but as we know a Jet engine is subject to the amount of O2, so i was looking at a earlier post about this topic. within the replies to that topic the rocket engine was...
I would like a discussion to quantify just how much mass is ejected at the poles (including the mass equivalence of the photons) when jets form. In quasars the black hole presumably reaches over a Billion solar masses, where the mass is proportionate to the mass of the galaxy and is also related...
I have done a research on google but still i can't find a reason why air is entrained in jets. An example of a jet is the fuel jet in a combustion chamber of a diesel engine. I suspect it has to do with the conservation of mass principle. Thank you in advance.
Could neutron star jets with velocity greater than 0.9c be caused by a mix of ultra-relativistic core material escaping the star? See this link:
http://www.dailygalaxy.com/my_weblog/2015/08/neutron-star-jets-near-speed-of-light-rival-those-of-black-holes.html
Is there any good information about the chemical composition of relativistic jets from neutron stars? If the chemical composition of the jets was different from the accretion material it could shed light on the process that forms the jets.
Could accreting material on a neutron star’s poles impact with enough energy to initiate fusion reactions, some of which escapes the star as ultra-relativistic jets?
First I'll try to give a summary of what I understand about the anti-##k_T## algorithm (as a continuation for a particle flow algorithm)...
The algorithm uses an iterative clustering with transverse momentum ##p_T## weighted distance parameter and is applying a selection on the "protojets". For...
Hi everybody,
my question is not properly about CFD but mainly about Fluid Dynamics itself. I have performed a RANS simulation of a round jet of methane and air and now I'd like to compare those results to some experiments. Unfortunately there aren't papers about experimental data for...

Supermassive black holes sometimes have extended relativistic jets emerging from the poles. They are HUGE and powerful and fast.
Has there been research into the mass of such jets? Any other impressive statistics about just how much mass and energy these things contain?
A recent APOD page discussed jets ejected from black holes. It said, "Recent evidence indicates that these jets are composed not only electrons and protons, but also the nuclei of heavy elements such as iron and nickel."
What is thought to be the mechanism of production of these heavy nuclei?
I have done a little reading on relativistic jets coming out of black holes. No where could I find a hypothetical amount of mass getting launched out of the poles. I was looking for an "amount per second" estimate. I know that it probably differs depending on how large the BH is, I am just...
Hello,
I was wondering if anyone can recommend any good articles or journals with valid and good velocity data for flow from an impinging jet on a flat surface with an approximate Reynolds number of around 75,000 to 90,000? I have looked and seem to have lots of data for heat coefficients but...

I just randomly thought of this topic one day and was curious since.
Is it possible to use a plasma jet and make a "plasma jet" with the plasma from a neon tube? Please explain why and maybe how?
Jets in space seem like a really common thing, they're found associated with active galaxies, protostar accretion disks, and around neutron stars and stuff. But from what I understand, no one really knows how they work. Or rather, there's no... "equation" for them. The process that forms these...
So I've always wondered about how the characteristics of Jets and Props differ. I've always thought of Jets as being low volume high pressure where as props of being high volume low pressure.

If nothing can escape black holes, how are relativistic jets of particles and radiation emitted from the supermassive variety of the same? Are they emitted from the BH proper or from something else?

Hi all, The traditional image of a "feeding" black hole has jets spewing from either pole of the axis of rotation. I know that these jets are accellerated to almost the speed of c, but I have been unable to determine if these jets are of mater / particles or energy. Could you tell me which...

Hi,
I'm having trouble understanding jets.
After say, the initial collision, I get that you have a bunch of quarks and gluons left over.
And that they must hadronize into colorless objects. But I'm not sure I get the jets part.
