Question

The propeller of a world war ll fighter plane is 2.4 m in diameter. 
a) what is its angular velocity in radians per second if it spins at 1300 rev/min? 
W=     rad/s
b)what is the linear speed of its tip at this angular velocity of the plane is stationary on the tarmac? 
V=      m/s
c)what is the centripetal acceleration of the propeller tip under these conditions? Calculate it in meters per second squared 

ac =    m/s^2

compare centripetal acceleration to the acceleration due to gravity g. Is the centripetal acceleration large or very small compared to g? 

ac/g= 

d) state what force provided this centripetal acceleration 

-the gravitational force 

-the rotary motor of the plane attached to the propeller 

-the Coriolis force 

-the force of kinetic friction
