The is true because I said so
· free fall is any motion of a body where gravity is the only forceacting upon it. In the context of general relativity, where gravitation is reduced to a space-time curvature, a body in free fall has no force acting on it.
E = 1/2 m v^2
108000m /3600 = 30m/s
E = 1525 * 0.5 * 30 = 22875 J
The radius R of the turn is 1.984 km.
<u>Explanation:</u>
As the falcon is experiencing a centripetal motion, the acceleration exhibited by the falcon will be centripetal acceleration. The formula for centripetal acceleration is

Here a is the acceleration for centripetal motion, v is the velocity and R is the radius of the circular path.
As the centripetal acceleration is given as 0.6 g, the velocity is given as 108 m/s, then the radius of the path can be determined as


So, the radius of the turn is 1.984 km.
