When a fighter pilot makes a very quick turn, he experiences a centripetal acceleration. When this acceleration is greater than

about 5.5 × g the pilot will usually lose consciousness ("black out"). Consider a pilot flying at a speed of 890 m/s who wants to make a very sharp turn. What is the minimum radius of curvature that he can take without blacking out?

Answer:

16.495 m

Explanation:

a = Centripetal acceleration = 5.5 g

r = Radius of turn

v = Velocity of fighter jet = 890 m/s

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

The direction of the velocity vector keeps constantly changing in centripetal acceleration

a=\frac{v^2}{r}\\\Rightarrow r=\frac{v^2}{a}\\\Rightarrow r=\frac{890}{5.5\times 9.81}\\\Rightarrow r=16.495\ m

The minimum radius of curvature that he can take without blacking out is 16.495 m

Which statement correctly describes the relationship between frequency and wavelength?
liraira [26]

For a wave:

v = fλ

v is the velocity, f is the frequency, and λ is the wavelength.

Assuming the velocity of the wave doesn't change...

If you increase its frequency, its wavelength will shorten.

On Earth, a spring stretches by 5.0 cm when a mass of 3.0 kg is suspended from one end.
Neko [114]

Answer:

Mass = 18.0 kg

Explanation:

From Hooke's law,

F = ke

where: F is the force, k is the spring constant and e is the extension.

But, F = mg

So that,

mg = ke

On the Earth, let the gravitational force be 10 m/s^{2}.

3.0 x 10 = k x 5.0

30 = 5k

⇒ k = \frac{30}{5} ................ 1

On the Moon, the gravitational force is \frac{1}{6} of that on the Earth.

m x \frac{10}{6} = k x 5.0

\frac{10m}{6} = 5k

⇒ k = \frac{10m}{30} ............. 2

Equating 1 and 2, we have;

\frac{30}{5}  = \frac{10m}{30}

m = \frac{900}{50}

    = 18.0

m = 18.0 kg

The mass required to produce the same extension on the Moon is 18 kg.
