Pilots of high-performance fighter planes can be subjected to large centripetal accelerations during high-speed turns. Because o

f these accelerations, the pilots are subjected to forces that can be much greater than their body weight, leading to an accumulation of blood in the abdomen and legs. As a result, the brain becomes starved for blood, and the pilot can lose consciousness ("black out"). The pilots wear "anti-G suits" to help keep the blood from draining out of the brain. To appreciate the forces that a fighter pilot must endure, consider the magnitude of the normal force that the pilot's seat exerts on him at the bottom of a dive. The plane is traveling at 216 m/s on a vertical circle of radius 723 m. Determine the ratio of the normal force to the magnitude of the pilot's weight. For comparison, note that black-out can occur for ratios as small as 2 if the pilot is not wearing an anti-G suit.

Answer:

Ratio is 7.58

Explanation:

At the bottom of the circle, the net force is given by

F_{n}=mv^{2}+mg where m is mass of plane, v is the speed of plane, r is vertical circle radius

F_{n}=m(v^{2}+g)

Since W=mg, dividing left side by W and right side by mg we obtain

\frac {F_{n}}{W}= \frac {m(v^{2}+g)}{mg}

\frac {F_{n}}{W}=g(g+\frac {v^{2}}{r})

\frac {F_{n}}{W}=9.81(9.81+\frac {216^{2}}{723})=7.578096

\frac {F_{n}}{W}=7.58

Considering that \frac {F_{n}}{W}=7.58 which is greater than 2, the pilot is advised to wear the anti-G suit

How do you find the oscillation period in seconds for different pendulum lengths?
GalinKa [24]

To find:

The equation to find the period of oscillation.

Explanation:

The period of oscillation of a pendulum is directly proportional to the square root of the length of the pendulum and inversely proportional to the square root of the acceleration due to gravity.

Thus the period of a pendulum is given by the equation,

T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

Where L is the length of the pendulum and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

On substituting the values of the length of the pendulum and the acceleration due to gravity at the point where the period of the pendulum is being measured, the above equation yields the value of the period of the pendulum.

Final answer:

The period of oscillation of a pendulum can be calculated using the equation,

T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

What is the velocity of a wave with a frequency of 45 Hertz and a wavelength of 3 meters?
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Explanation:

By using v=( f )x( lambda )

v= 45 s^-1 x 3 m

Therefore v = 135 ms^-1

3) A dock worker pushes a 72 kg crate up a 2.0 m high,
Vlad [161]

Work done on the crate is 1411.2 J

Explanation:

Work done is defined as the product of force and the distance moved by the object. The unit of work done is in joules and denoted by the symbol J.

                                     Work done = F * d

where F represents the force and d represents the distance moved by the object.

mass = 72 kg , distance moved by the object is given by 2.0 m

Force F = mass * gravity = 72 * 9.8

             = 705.6 N =706 N.

Work done = 706 * 2.0 = 1412 J.

A woman places her briefcase on the backseat of her car. As she drives to work, the car negotiates an unbanked curve in the road
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

The force that cause the centripetal acceleration is the static friction, and the briefcase begin to move if the force of centripetal acceleration exceeds the force due to the static friction

Explanation:

Given data:

r = radius = 54.5 m

v = speed of the car = 12.4 m/s

The force due to the static friction that is exerted on the curve in the road is what causes the centripetal acceleration. If the force due to centripetal acceleration is greater than the force of static friction, then the briefcase will begin to roll.

Which is true about Pluto
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

D.)it orbits near the Kepler belt

Explanation:

The Kuiper belt is an area similar to the asteroide belt extending from the orbit of Neptune to about 50 AU from the Sun. It mainly consists of icy asteroids and dwarf planets, which are rocky objects big enough to be defined as planet but that do not have enough gravity to clear their orbit from other obejcts.

Pluto was discovered in 1930 - initially it was classified as a planet, although it is much smaller than the other 8 planets of the Solar System. However, it has been recently de-classified to dwarf planet because its gravity is not enough to clear its orbit from other objects (asteroids). Pluto is located inside the Kuiper belt, so option D is correct. Other dwarf planets in the Kuiper belt are for instance Haumea and Makemake.
