Medical testing has established that the maximum acceleration a pilot can be subjected to without losing consciousness is approximately 5.00g. A pilot can avoid “blackout” at accelerations up to approximately 9.00g by wearing special “g-suits” that help keep blood pressure in the brain at a sufficient level. What is the minimum safe radius of curvature for the pilot wearing a g-suit and flying the F-15 in a horizontal circular loop at 658 km/h?

Civil and traffic engineers want to design a banked curve on a highway. The curve will have a 1.80 km radius and the highway's speed limit will be 70.0 mph. If every car will travel at the speed limit, what is this curve's ideal banking angle to three significant figures? NB: 1609 m = 1 mile. Hint: be careful with your units. 1.94° 2.62° 4.02° 3.18° 2.95° 15.5°
what is the average centripetal acceleration of a car traveling at 20 meters/second on a circular track that has a radius of 50 meters?
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.
A jet pilot flies his aircraft in a vertical loop at a speed of 1200 km/h. Part A What is the minimum radius of the circle (in meters) such that the pilot experiences no more than 6.0 g of centripetal acceleration when at the bottom of the loop? Part B The pilot has a mass of 78 kg. What is his effective weight at the bottom of the loop? Part C The pilot has a mass of 78 kg. What is his effective weight at the top of the loop? (Assume the same speed.)
An accelerometer C is mounted to the side of the roller-coaster car and records a total acceleration of 3.3g as the empty car passes the bottommost position of the track as shown. If the speed of the car at this position is 195 km/h and is decreasing at the rate of 22 km/h every second, determine the radius of curvature p of the track at the position shown. Answer: p-i I ! m 0.73 m
The passengers in a roller coaster feel 42 % heavier than their true weight as the car goes through a loop with a 30 m radius of curvature. What is the car's speed at the bottom of the loop? Use g = 10 N/kg. Hint: How heavy some one feels is another name for normal force. The problem therefore tells you the normal force. If you know weight and normal force, you can determine centripetal acceleration. You can substitute a value for mass if you wish.
NASA uses a machine often called the "vomit comet" to mimic the effects of low gravity in space during astronaut training. The machine moves in circular arcs at a speed of v = 214 m/s. What is the radius the pilot must fly to create weightlessness as they go around the top of the circular arc? Give your answer in meters.
Jupiter’s volcanic moon Io (it’s the most volcanic thing in our solar system!) completes a roughly circular orbit around the planet once every 42 hours. If the distance between Io and Jupiter is 4.22 × 108 m, what is thecentripetal acceleration of the moon?
