An aircraft performs a maneuver called an "aileron roll." During this
maneuver, the plane turns like a screw as it maintains a straight flight
path, which sets the wings in circular motion. If it takes it 21 s to
complete the circle and the wingspan of the plane is 10.6 m, what is the
acceleration of the wing tip? Express your answer in m/s².
On a distant planet, a ball is thrown downward from a height of 12 m. The ball has an initial speed of 4.0 m/s. If the ball hits the ground in 2.0 seconds, what is the planet's gravitational acceleration?

- A roller coaster at the Six Flags Great America amusement park in Gurnee, Illinois, incorporates some clever design technology and some basic physics. Each vertical loop, instead of being circular, is shaped like a teardrop. The cars ride on the inside of the loop at the top, and the speeds are fast enough to ensure that the cars remain on track. The biggest loop is 40.0m high. Suppose the speed at the top is 14.4m/s and the corresponding centripetal acceleration is 2g. (a) What is the radius of the arc of the teardrop at the top? (b)If the total mass of a car plus the riders is M, what force does the rail exert on the car at the top? (c) Suppose the roller coaster had a circular loop of radius 21.4 m.
