1 ) A jet fighter flying at 300 m/s (just below the speed of sound) makes a turn of radius 2.75 km.
(a)What is its centripetal acceleration ?
(b) Suppose the pilot makes an emergency turn to avoid an approaching missile, subjecting
himself to a centripetal acceleration of 10 gs ( = 10x9.8 m/s2), while flying at 580 m/
s (supersonic). What is the radius, in km, of his turn? (This must be short-lived because fighter
planes can only briefly endure such large accelerations without serious damage, and the pilot
will soon black out at 10 gs.)
(a) What is the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration of an object on Earth’s equator due to the rotation of Earth? (b) What would Earth’s rotation period have to be for objects on the equator to have a centripetal acceleration of magnitude 9.8 m/s2?
In a circular motion, if an object has a speed of 37.7m/s, and radius of the circular path is 10 m, what is the centripetal acceleration in m/s2?
