An airplane flies in a loop (a circular path in a vertical plane) of radius 160 m . The pilot's head always points toward the ce

nter of the loop. The speed of the airplane is not constant; the airplane goes slowest at the top of the loop and fastest at the bottom
(a) At the top of the loop, the pilot feels weightless. What is the speed of the airplane at this point?
(b) At the bottom of the loop, the speed of the airplane is 300. What is the apparent weight of the pilot at this point? His true weight is 760 .

Answer:

a) 39.6 m/s b) 4123 N

Explanation:

a) At the top of the loop, all of the forces point downwards (force of gravity and normal force).

Fnet=ma

ma=m(v^2/R) (centripetal acceleration)

mg=m(v^2/R)

m cancels out (this is why pilot feels weightless) so,

g=(v^2/R)

9.8 m/s^2 = v^2/160 m

v^2=1568 m^2/s^2

v=39.6 m/s

b) At the bottom of the loop, the normal force and the force of gravity point in opposite directions. The normal force is the weight felt.

Convert 300 km/hr to m/s

300 km/hr=83.3 m/s

Convert pilot's weight into mass:

760 N = 77.55 kg

Fnet=ma

n-mg=m(v^2/R)

n=(77.55 kg)(((83.3 m/s)^2)/160 m)+(77.55 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)

n=3363.2 N+760 N=4123 N

Compared to Jupiter, Saturn's atmosphere is more uniform with no significant variation in color in the lower cloud levels. much
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

Compared to Jupiter, Saturn's atmosphere is more calm with fewer disturbances or storms.

The Atmosphere in Jupiter is highly violent and thinner as compared with Saturn.

The layers of atmosphere on Saturn is thicker because of lower gravity of Saturn and hence they are calmer.

What color do glacier appear if they are moving towards us?
kirill [66]

Answer:

Subcategories: Ice field

Explanation:

Glacier ice is blue because the red (long wavelengths) part of white light is absorbed by ice and the blue (short wavelengths) light is transmitted and scattered. The longer the path light travels in ice, the more blue it appears.
