QUESTION:

Problem 2P

A jet plane traveling 1890 km/h (525 m/s) pulls out of a dive by moving in an arc of radius 6.00 km. What is the plane’s acceleration in g’s?

ANSWER:

Solution 2P

Step 1 of 3

Here we have to calculate the acceleration of the plane in terms of acceleration due to gravity on Earth surface. The plane is performing circular motion, so here we need to calculate the centripetal acceleration.

Given data,

  • Linear speed of plane,
  • Radius ,

Using                                  

  • Acceleration due to gravity,

To find,

Centripetal acceleration,
