Problem 67GP

BIO Maneuvering a Jet Humans lose consciousness if exposed to prolonged accelerations of more than about 7g. This is of concern to jet fighter pilots, who may experience centripetal accelerations of this magnitude when making high-speed turns. Suppose we would like to decrease the centripetal acceleration of a jet. Rank the following changes in flight path in order of how effective they are in decreasing the centripetal acceleration, starting with the least effective: A, decrease the turning radius by a factor of two; B, decrease the speed by a factor of three; or C; increase the turning radius by a factor of four.
