The California sea lion is capable of making extremely fast, tight turns while swimming underwater. In one study, scientists obs

erved a sea lion making a circular turn with a radius of 0.37 m while swimming at 4.0 m/s.
What is the sea lion's centripetal acceleration, in units of g?

What percentage is this acceleration of that of an F-15 fighter jet's maximum centripetal acceleration of 9g?

Answer:

Acceleration of Sea Lion is 4.41 g

This is 49% of maximum jet acceleration given as a = 9g

Explanation:

As we know that the radius of the circular loop is given as

R = 0.37 m

The speed of the fish is given as

v = 4 m/s

Now the centripetal acceleration of the sea lion is given as

a_c = \frac{v^2}{R}

a_c = \frac{4^2}{0.37}

a_c = 43.2 m/s^2

as we know that

g = 9.8 m/s^2

so we have

a = 4.41 g

Now Percentage of this acceleration wrt maximum jet acceleration is given as

P = \frac{4.41 g}{9g} \times 100

P = 49%

Does the sun sun traces shortest path across local sky on june solstice
viktelen [127]
The June solstice in the Northern hemisphere is the summer solstice. The June Solstice in the Southern hemisphere is the winter solstice. The summer solstice is equivalent to the longest day while the winter solstice is equivalent to the shortest day. Therefore on the local sky, when is the June solstice we have have the longest day (longest path of sun in the sky) in the Northern hemisphere and the shortest day (shortest path of sun in the sky) in the Southern hemisphere.
