It’s going to be both answer A and B but if you can only answer one then it’s going to be B
Trick question? In order to have kinetic energy, an object must be moving. Therefore, in this case, kinetic energy would be 0. If it were asking about potential energy, it would be a different story.
Answer:
The radius of the loop is 20.66 km
Explanation:
let the radius of the loop be r
mass of airplane is m
At the top, the pilot experiences two radial forces, which are
1) Gravitational force is mg
2) Centrifugal forces mv²/r out of the center
When the pilot experiences no weight,
then, mg = mv²/r
r = v² / g
= 450² / 9.8
= 20.66 x 10³3
= 20.66 km
temperature decreases at higher altitudes because as air rises the pressure decreases.
