Suppose a stunt pilot at an air show flies her plane in a circle with a constant radius of 2,950 meters, while maintaining a constant speed of 465 m/s. What acceleration does she experience (number of m/s2) as a result of flying in this circle rather than in a straight line? A pilot can withstand an acceleration of 9 "g" or 88 m/s2.

A pilot can withstand an acceleration of up to 9g, which is about 88 m/s2, before blacking out. What is the acceleration experienced by a pilot flying in a circle of constant radius at a constant speed of 525 m/s if the radius of the circle is 2510 m?
A car at a traffic signal starts from rest and makes a left turn in a circular trajectory of radius 6 m reaching a speed of 9 in 2 seconds. What is the magnitude of its total acceleration at t = 2 seconds? (You do not need to provide units, just the numerical value calculated in m/s2)
At the equator, the radius of the Earth is approximately 6370 km. A jet flies at a very low altitude at a constant speed of v = 245 m/s. Upon landing, the jet can produce an average deceleration of a = 15.5 m/s2. How long will it take the jet, in seconds, to circle the Earth at the equator? t = What is the numeric value for the minimum landing distance, d (in meters), this jet needs to come to rest? Assume that when the jet touches the ground it is moving at the same speed as it was when it was flying. d =

A ball whirls around on the end of a string, moving in a circle at a constant speed of 3.0 m/s. If it experiences an acceleration of 3 m/s2, how long (in m) is the string, and If the string is replaced by a string 2.19 m long but the acceleration remains unchanged, what is the ball's new speed (in m/s)?
A car moves along a circular track of radius 50 ft such that its speed for a short period of time 0sts 4 s, is v= (3t + t') ft/s. Determine the magnitude of its acceleration when t= 2 s. a) (A) 22 ft/s? b) 7.0 ft/s? c) 2.0 ft/s? d) 7.0 ft/s? e) 5.4 ft/s?
A car drives around a circular track of diameter 161 m at a constant speed of 47.4 m/s. During the time it takes the car to travel 256 degrees around, what is the magnitude of the car s average acceleration? Hint: Do not calculate instantenous accelleration. Instead calculte the average acceleration over the fraction of a complete lap. Average acceleration equals change in velocity divided by change in time, and that this is a two-dimensional situation so you'll have to calculate the x and y components of the average acceleration first and then figure out the magnitude. Remember also that ax = Δvx/Δt and ay = Δvy/Δt. 0 m/s^2 27.91 m/s^2 13.96 m/s^2 9.84 m/s^2
