Question

An aircraft executes a horizontal loop of radius 1.5 km with a steady speed of 900 km/hr. Find the ratio of its centripetal acceleration to the acceleration due to gravity(g= 980 cm/s^2) urgent! ​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : r=1000 m v=900 km/h=900×

18

5

=250 m/s

Centripetal acceleration a

c

=

r

v

2

⟹ a

c

=

1000

250

2

=62.5 m/s

2

So

g

a

c

=

10

62.5

=6.25
