An ice skater is executing a figure-eight, consisting of two identically shaped, tangent circular paths. Throughout the first loop, she increases her speed uniformly, and during the second loop she moves at a constant speed. When the ice skater travels during the first loop, the acceleration vector is not directed towards the center, whereas when the ice skater travels in the second loop, the acceleration vector is directed toward the center.
Is this true or false?
An airplane is cruising at a speed of 257.2 m/s along a straight line andmakes a turn along a circular path level with the ground. What should be the radius (in kilometers) of the circular trajectory be to produce a centripetal acceleration of 3g, where g is the acceleration due to gravity, on the pilot and the plane?
(A) 1.73 km
(B) 2.58 km
(C) 1.99 km
(D) 2.25 km
(E) None of these
An airplane has been directed to fly in a clockwise circle, as seen from above, at constant speed until another plane has landed. When the plane is going north, is it accelerating? If so, in what direction does the acceleration vector point? If not, why not?
