Wonderwoman’s lasso of truth is whirled in a horizontal circle. If the period of one revolution is 1.23s, and the length of the lasso is 95cm. What is the centripetal acceleration of the lasso?

In a circular motion, if an object has a speed of 34.8m/s, and radius of the circular path is 80.2 m, what is the centripetal acceleration in m/s2?

A fairground ride spins its occupants inside a flying-saucer-shaped vehicle. If the horizontal circular path the riders follow has a radius of 7.5 m, at how many revolutions per minute will the riders be subjected to a centripetal acceleration 1.7 times that due to gravity? f =

In a circular motion, if an object has a speed of 35.5m/s, and radius of the circular path is 45.2 m, what is the centripetal acceleration in m/s?

A motorcycle, starting from rest, accelerates at 2.07m/s^2 on a circular track with a 215m diameter. What is the elapsed time, in seconds, at which the centripetal acceleration of the motorcycle has the same magnitude as its tangential acceleration?

A jet fighter flying at 300 m/s (just below the speed of sound) makes a turn of radius 2.55 km. (a) What is its centripetal acceleration in gs? (b) Suppose the pilot makes an emergency turn to avoid an approaching missile, subjecting himself to a centripetal acceleration of 10 gs, while flying at 565 m/s (supersonic). What is the radius, in km, of his turn? (This must be short-lived because fighter planes can only briefly endure such large accelerations without serious damage, and the pilot will soon black out at 10 gs.)

A planet travels in a circular orbit around a star. The radius of the circular orbit is 3.01×1011 m and the orbital period is 4.27 years.  What is the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration of the planet, in m/s2?

In the movie Kill Bill the character Gogo Yubari fights with a meteor hammer, which is a bladed metal sphere on the end of a chain.  Let’s assume Gogo is spinning the meteor hammer in a vertical spin, as shown below, with a radius of motion as 1 m. She spins the weapon at 18 m/s.  Gogo then lets out more chain, increasing the radius to 1.62 m.  What is the new velocity of her weapon?

A military jet is flying at 357 m/s in a tight circular turn. If the military jet reaches a centripetal acceleration of 10.0 times the free-fall acceleration, what must the radius of its turn be?

A well-thrown football is spinning at 5.9 rev/s. The widest point of the football is at the center of the laces, where the radius is 8.50 cm.  What is the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration of the laces in m/s2?
