Chapter 3, Problem 38P
To withstand “g-forces” of up to 10 g’s, caused by suddenly pulling out of a steep dive, fighter jet pilots train on a “human centrifuge.” 10 g’s is an acceleration of 98 m/s2. If the length of the centrifuge arm is 12 m, at what speed is the rider moving when she experiences 10 g’s?

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)?
Our balance is maintained, at least in part, by the endolymph fluid in the inner ear. Spinning displaces this fluid, causing dizziness. Suppose that a skater is spinning very fast at 3.0 revolutions per second about a vertical axis through the center of his head. Take the inner ear to be approximately 7.0 cm from the axis of spin. (The distance varies from person to person.) What is the radial acceleration (in m/s2 and in g’s) of the endolymph fluid?

A sample of Uranium is rotating in a large centrifuge undergoing centripetal-acceleration. It “rides” in uniform circular motion. The radius is r = 4.0 m, and at some time t, the acceleration is a= 6i+4j
What is the speed of the rotating Uranium in meters/sec?
