59 The standard test to determine the maximum lat- eral acceleration of a car is to drive it around a 200-ft-diameter circle painted on a level asphalt sur- face. The driver slowly increases the vehicle speed until he is no longer able to keep both wheel pairs straddling the line. If this maximum speed is 35 mi/hr for a 3000-lb car, determine its lateral ac- celeration capability a, in g's and compute the mag- nitude F of the total friction force exerted by the pavement on the car tires. 100 ft Problem 3/59

Describe how a driver can steer a car traveling at constant speed so that (a) the acceleration is zero or (b) the magnitude of the acceleration remains constant.
As their booster rockets separate, Space Shuttle astronauts typically feel accelerations up to 3g, where g = 9.80 m/s2. In their training, astronauts ride in a device where they experience such an acceleration as a centripetal acceleration. Specifically, the astronaut is fastened securely at the end of a mechanical arm, which then turns at constant speed in a horizontal circle. Determine the rotation rate, in revolutions per second, required to give an astronaut a centripetal acceleration of 3.00g while in circular motion with radius 9.45 m.
A pilot performs an evasive maneuver by diving vertically at 280 m/sm/s . If he can withstand an acceleration of 8.0 gg's without blacking out, at what altitude must he begin to pull out of the dive to avoid crashing into the sea?
A car at 90 km / h is on a 400 m radius curve. At a given moment, the driver brakes the car, giving it a steady deceleration of 1.2 m / s² . Determine the total acceleration of the vehicle (a) immediately after the car brake has been applied and(b) 5 s later.
Humans lose consciousness if exposedto prolonged accelerations of more than about 7g. This is of concern to jet fighter pilots, who may experience centripetal accelerations of this magnitude when making high-speed turns. Suppose we would like to decrease the centripetal acceleration of a jet.Rank the following changes in flight path in order of how effective they are in decreasing the centripetal acceleration, startingwith the least effective: A, decrease the turning radius by a factorof two; B, decrease the speed by a factor of three; or C, increase theturning radius by a factor of four.
