A pilot can withstand an acceleration of up to 9g, which is about 88 m/s2, before blacking out. What is the acceleration experienced by a pilot flying in a circle of constant radius at a constant speed of 475 m / s if the radius of the circle is 2310 m?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Acceleration, [tex]a=97.67\ m/s^2[/tex]

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed of pilot, v = 475 m/s

Radius of the circle, r = 2310 m

If the pilot is moving in a circular path, it will experience a centripetal acceleration. It is given by the formula as :

[tex]a=\dfrac{v^2}{r}[/tex]

[tex]a=\dfrac{(475\ m/s)^2}{2310\ m}[/tex]

[tex]a=97.67\ m/s^2[/tex]

So, the acceleration experienced by a pilot flying in a circle is [tex]97.67\ m/s^2[/tex]. Hence, this is the required solution.
