Question

A fighter jet makes a loop of 1000m with a speed of 250m/s. Compare it's centripetal acceleration due to gravity.

Answer 1

Answer:

12.5π

Explanation:

v = 250

r = 1000/2π = 500/π

acceleration due to gravity g = 10m/s²

centripetal acceleration a=v²/r=250*250*π/500=125π

So ratio between centripetal acceleration and acceleration due to gravity = a/g = 12.5π
