at t=0 an automobile travelling north begins to take a turn. it follows one quarter of a arc of a cirlce of radius 10.1m until t=2.1 where it is travelllign east. the car does not alter its speed. 1. what is the speed of the car? 2. what is the magnitude of the chnage in the cars velocity during the turn? 3. what is the magnitude of the average acceleration of the car during the turn? 4. what is the direction of the average acceleration during the turn of the car?
A car drives around a circular track of diameter 161 m at a constant speed of 47.4 m/s. During the time it takes the car to travel 256 degrees around, what is the magnitude of the car s average acceleration? Hint: Do not calculate instantenous accelleration. Instead calculte the average acceleration over the fraction of a complete lap. Average acceleration equals change in velocity divided by change in time, and that this is a two-dimensional situation so you'll have to calculate the x and y components of the average acceleration first and then figure out the magnitude. Remember also that ax = Δvx/Δt and ay = Δvy/Δt. 0 m/s^2 27.91 m/s^2 13.96 m/s^2 9.84 m/s^2
A jet fighter flying at 300 m/s (just below the speed of sound) makes a turn of radius 2.20 km. The centripetal acceleration in gs is 4.17. Suppose the pilot makes an emergency turn to avoid an approaching missile, subjecting himself to a centripetal acceleration of 10 gs, while flying at 535 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.)
