Question

Transcribed Image Text:26. Snoopy, in hot pursuit of the Red Baron, is flying his
vintage warplane in a “loop-the-loop" path. His
instruments tell him that the plane is level (at the
bottom of the loop) and travelling at a speed of
180 km/h. He is sitting on a set of bathroom scales.
He notes that the scales show four times his normal
weight. What is the radius of the loop, in metres?

- Different situation now. You re out in space, on a rotating wheel-shaped space station of radius 743 m. You feel planted firmly on the floor , due to artificial gravity. The gravity you experience is Earth-normal, that is, g = 9.81 m/s^2. How fast is the space station rotating in order to produce this much artificial gravity? Express your answer in revolutions per minute (rpm). 0.115 rpm 85.4 rpm 0.549 rpm 1.097 rpmarrow_forwardA 615 kg car completes one lap in a time of 14.3 sec around a circular track with a radius of 50.0 m.
