Q. Jet plane works on the principle of

  • (A) Conservation of mass
  • (B) Conservation of energy
  • (C) Conservation of linear – momentum
  • (D) Conservation of angular momentum
βœ… Correct Answer: (C) Conservation of linear – momentum
Explanation:

A jet plane moves forward by ejecting hot gases backward at high speed. According to the law of conservation of linear momentum, the backward momentum of the gases is balanced by the forward momentum of the jet, producing thrust.

Explanation by: Roshan

A jet plane moves forward by ejecting hot gases backward at high speed. According to the law of conservation of linear momentum, the backward momentum of the gases is balanced by the forward momentum of the jet, producing thrust.
