Problem 26E

Section 4.6 Velocity and Acceleration in Uniform Circular Motion

To withstand “g-forces” of up to 10 g’s, caused by suddenly pulling out of a steep dive, fighter jet pilots train on a “human centrifuge.” 10 g’s 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 10 g’s?

Problem 26E

Section 4.6 Velocity and Acceleration in Uniform Circular Motion

To withstand “g-forces” of up to 10 g’s, caused by suddenly pulling out of a steep dive, fighter jet pilots train on a “human centrifuge.” 10 g’s 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 10 g’s?

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 2

Here we have to calculate the speed of the rider when she experiences \(10 \mathrm{~g}\).

The length of the arm of the centrifuge is,

                                             \(r=12 \mathrm{~m} .\)
