Chapter 5: Q2. (page 132)

A jet plane traveling1890km/s525m/spulls out of a dive by moving in an arc of radius 5.20 km. What is the plane鈥檚 acceleration in g鈥檚?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The plane鈥檚 acceleration in g鈥檚 is 5.403g's.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Understanding the centripetal acceleration of the jet plane

The jet plane is travelling in an arc. Then the jet plane experiences a centripetal force.The centripetal acceleration of the jet plane depends on the jet plane's speed and the radius of an arc.

02

Step 2. Identification of given data 

The given data can be listed below as,

  • Theradius of an arc is,r=5.20km1000m1km=5200m.
  • The speed of the jet plane is, v=525m/s.
  • The acceleration due to gravity is, g=9.81m/s2.
03

Step 3. Determination of the centripetal acceleration of the jet plane

The centripetal acceleration can be expressed as,

ac=v2r

Here, v is the speed of the jet plane, r is the radius of the merry-go-round.

Substitute the values in the above equation.

ac=525m/s25200m=53m/s21g9.81m/s2=5.403g's

Thus, the centripetal acceleration of the jet plane is 5.403g's.

A car drives straight down toward the bottom of a valley and up the other side on a road whose bottom has a radius of curvature of 115 m. At the very bottom, the normal force on the driver is twice his weight. At what speed was the car traveling?

On an ice rink two skaters of equal mass grab hands and spin in a mutual circle once every 2.5 s. If we assume their arms are each 0.80 m long and their individual masses are 55.0 kg, how hard are they pulling on one another?

The source of the Mississippi River, is closer to the centre of the Earth than is its outlet in Louisiana (because the Earth is fatter at the equator than at the poles). Explain how the Mississippi can flow "uphill."

Astronauts who spend long periods in outer space could be adversely affected by weightlessness. One way to simulate gravity is to shape the spaceship-like a cylindrical shell that rotates, with the astronauts walking on the inside surface (Fig. 5鈥�33). Explain how this simulates gravity. Consider (a) how objects fall, (b) the force we feel on our feet, and (c) any other aspects of gravity you can think of.
