The pilot of an airplane executes a loop-the-loop maneuver in a vertical circle. The speed of the airplane is 250 mi/h, at the top of the loop and 450 mi/h at the bottom, and the radius of the circle is 1 150 ft. Note: His apparent weight is equal to the magnitude of the force exerted by the seat on his body.
(a) What is the pilot's apparent weight at the lowest point if
his true weight is 160 lb?
lb
(b) What is the magnitude of his apparent weight at the highest
point?
lb
(c) Describe how the pilot could experience weightlessness if both
the radius and the speed can be varied.

The pilot of an airplane executes a loop-the-loop maneuver in a
vertical circle. The speed of the airplane is 305 mi/h, at the top
of the loop and 450 mi/h at the bottom, and the radius of the
circle is 1 180 ft. Note: His apparent weight is equal to
the magnitude of the force exerted by the seat on his body. (a)

Will Rogers spun a lasso in a vertical circle. The diameter of
the loop was 6 ft, and the loop spun 50 times each minutes. If the
lowest point on the rope was 6 inches above the ground, write an
equation to describe the height of this point above the ground
after t seconds.
Please write nicely.

Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A for loop executes indefinitely if the loop condition is
always false.
If the loop condition in a for loop is initially false, the
loop body does not execute.
C++ does not allow you to use fractional values for loop
control variables that are real numbers.
In a for statement, if the loop condition is omitted, it is
assumed to be false.

The pilot of an airplane is trying to fly due west toward an
airport. The airspeed of this plane is 900 km/hr. If the wind is
blowing from the southwest at 100 km/hr, in what direction must his
heading be? Find the speed of the plane relative to the ground.

question 15
Speed of airplane flying overhead of radar station
An airplane is flying at an altitude of 6 miles and passes
directly over a radar antenna.
When the plane is 10 miles away (straight line distance from
radar station s=10), the radar detects that the distance s is
changing at a rate of 320 mph. What is the actual speed of the
plane?

An airplane pilot wishes to fly to his destination 500 mi due
west, but the wind is blowing at 23.1 mi/hr toward 14.1° north of
west. The speed of the plane relative to the air is 166.5 mi/hr. At
what angle (south of west) must the pilot orient the plane in order
to fly to his destination directly?
If the pilot orients the plane at that angle, what will be the
speed of the plane relative to the ground?

An airplane propels itself eastward with speed v. A crosswind
with speed u is directed at an angle θ (0 < θ < π) north of
east. What is the distance travelled by the plane after a time
t?

An airplane is heading due south at a speed of 680 km/h .
A. If a wind begins blowing from the southwest at a speed of 90
km/h (average), calculate the velocity (magnitude) of the plane
relative to the ground.
B. Calculate the velocity (direction) of the plane relative to
the ground.
C. Calculate how far from its intended position will it be after
18 min if the pilot takes no corrective action.
