- An airplane is flying north. It makes a gradual 180° turn (at any instant, the turning angle is less than 90°) at constant speed of 415.5 km/h, changing its direction of travel from north through east to south in 36.5 s. The centripetal acceleration of the plane for this turn in m/s2 is: Answer: The force of gravitational attraction hetween tuuo nhinntamitharrow_forwardCivil and traffic engineers want to design a banked curve on a highway. The curve will have a 1.80 km radius and the highway's speed limit will be 70.0 mph. If every car will travel at the speed limit, what is this curve's ideal banking angle to three significant figures? NB: 1609 m = 1 mile.
