Textbook Question
Chapter 6, Problem 11P
To withstand “g-forces” of up to 10g, caused by suddenly pulling out of a steep dive, fighter jet pilots train on a “human centrifuge.” 10g is an acceleration of 98 m/s2. If the length of the centrifuge arm is 12 m, at what speed is the rider moving when she experiences 10g?

You're designing a highway so that the maximum centripetal acceleration on a curve is no more than 1.3 m/s^2.
What is the minimum curvature radius to accommodate a 108 km//h maximum speed?
This is about r=V^2/a, right?
I have to convert km to meters, then hours to min to seconds. Say the final is (30m/s)^2 /1/3 m/s^2 =692.3 m
Does two sig figs mean that 692 is changed to 690 m or something else to get two sig figs? Please explain? If the answer is 62.3 then two figs mean 62. If 63.5, then 64. But 692?
A centripetal-acceleration addict rides in uniform circular motion with radius r=3.00m. At one instant his acceleration is a=(600m/s2)i^+(−4.00m/s2)j^. At that instant, what are the values of (a)v.a and (b)r.a
While playing sock baseball in the living room, a child swings a pair of socks attached to the end of a string in a circular path above his head. If the socks travel at a constant speed of 3.7 m/s and the string is 0.4 m long, what is the acceleration (in m/s2) experienced by the socks?
