Chapter 8, Problem 29EAP
An 85,000 kg stunt plane performs a loop-the-loop, flying in a 260-m-diameter vertical circle. At the point where the plane is flying straight down, its speed is 55 m/s and it is speeding up at rate of 12 m/s per second.
- What is the magnitude of the net force on the plane? You can neglect air resistance.

A 1500-kg car drives around a flat 25-m-radius circular track at 10 m/s (approximately 22 mph). What is the magnitude of the friction force on the car, in KN (kilo Newtons)? The coefficients of friction between the tire and the road on a dry day are µs = 1.0 and µk= 0.80. Use g = 10 m/s2.
NASA uses a plane often called the "vomit comet" to reproduce the effects of low gravity in space during astronaut training. The plane moves in circular arcs at a speed of v = 218 m/s.What is the radius the pilot must fly to create weightlessness as they go around the top of the circular arc? Give your answer in meters.
