A hang glider and its pilot have a total mass equal to 134 kg. While executing a 360° turn, the glider moves in a circle with a 9 m radius. The glider's speed is 15 m/s. (Assume the glider turns along the horizontal plane.)
(a) What is the net force on the hang glider?(b) What is the acceleration?
A jet dives vertically at a speed v = 174 m/s, before pulling out of the dive along a circular arc. The pilot can survive an acceleration of a = 8.6 g. His mass is m = 91 kg. What is the minimum radius of the circular arc, in meters, that the pilot can make without injury? (Watch you sigfigs)
I understand how to calculate this answer, but I need help determining the correct number of sig figs for the answer.
A car of mass m travels around a flat, circular curve of radius r at the fastest possible speed, v = 13.8 m/s without sliding off. The car and road have a coefficient of friction, μ between them.
If the car wishes to take the turn at 2.3x the velocity, by what factor would the radius need to increase (so the car doesn't slide off) ?
Give your answer to 1 decimal place.
