A jet fighter flying at 300 m/s (just below the speed of sound) makes a turn of radius 1.85 km. (a) What is its centripetal acceleration in gs? (No Response) g (b) Suppose the pilot makes an emergency turn to avoid an approaching missile, subjecting himself to a centripetal acceleration of 10 gs, while flying at 450 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.) (No Response) km
