A 1.44 x 104 N automobile is moving with a constant speed of 6 km/h on a curve of 30 m radius.a. What is its acceleration?b. What is the centripetal force on the automobile?c. What supplies this force?
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.
