A test pilot (with a mass of 75.0 kg) of a high performance jet airplane executes a loop-the- loop maneuver in a vertical circle, where the airplane is upside down at the top of the loop (or top of the circle). The speed of the airplane is 475 km/h at the top of the loop and 725 km/h at the bottom of the loop, and the radius of the circle is 350 m. Calculate the magnitude of the apparent weight of the pilot (a) at the bottom of the loop and (b) at the top of the loop. Include a force (or free body) diagram of the pilot at both the top and bottom of the loop.

A ball on the end of a string is whirled around in a horizontal circle of radius 0.254 m. The plane of the circle is 1.31 m above the ground. The string breaks and the ball lands 2.16 m away from the point on the ground directly beneath the ball’s location when the string breaks. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2 . Find the centripetal acceleration of the ball during its circular motion.

You are exploring a distant planet. When your spaceship is in a circular orbit at a distance of 630 km above the planet's surface, the ship's orbital speed is 5500 m/s. By observing the planet, you determine its radius to be 4.48×106m. You then land on the surface and, at a place where the ground is level, launch a small projectile with initial speed 12.6 m/s at an angle of 30.8∘ above the horizontal. If resistance due to the planet's atmosphere is negligible, what is the horizontal range of the projectile?
When a fighter pilot makes a very quick turn, he experiences a centripetal acceleration. When this acceleration is greater than about 4 × g the pilot will usually lose consciousness (“black out”). Consider a pilot flying at a speed of 950 m/s who wants to make a very sharp turn. What is the minimum radius of curvature that he can take without blacking out?
