In a laboratory test of tolerance for high acceleration, a pilot is swung in a circle 15.0 m in diameter. It is found that the pilot blacks out when he is spun at 30.6 rpm (rev/min). At what acceleration (in SI units) does the pilot black out? acceleration: 77.01 m/s? Express this acceleration in terms of a multiple of g. acceleration as a multiple of g: 7.858 If you want to decrease the acceleration by 22.0% without changing the diameter of the circle, by what percent must you change the time for the pilot to make one circle? percent of time change:

Modern roller coasters have vertical loops like the one shown. The radius of curvature is smaller at the top than on the sides so that the downward centripetal acceleration at the top will be greater than the acceleration due to gravity, keeping the passengers pressed firmly into their seats. What is the speed of the roller coaster at the top of the loop if the radius of curvature there is 15.0 m and the downward acceleration of the car is 1.50 g?

Hi, today I had my engineering mechanics 1 test which I completely screwed up. I was quite confident in the uniform circular motion, but I had this problem in my exam which completely confused me. When I read "upward vertical acceleration" my head just start to spin as I couldn't understand what force could cause an upward acceleration. Could you help me with this problem? I bet it is easier than it looks, but still, I am confused about what is asking me and most importantly about the input it is giving me. I don't have my exam paper with me, but on my body diagram, I knew that on the aeroplane were exerted the Force of Contact Fn1 and the Force m1g in the y opposite direction. On the pilot was acting the Force of Contact with the seat of the aeroplane Fn2 and the m2g in the y opposite direction. Here is the problem: During an air show an aircraft comes out of a dive at the bottom of a circular arc at a horizontal speed of 97m/s. In the cockpit the aircraft pilot of mass 58kg…
