A stunt pilot in an air show performs a loop-the-loop in a vertical circle of radius 3.80* 10^3 m. During this performance the pilot whose weight is 644 N, maintains a constant speed of 2.05 *10^2 m/s.

(a) When the pilot is at the highest point of the loop determine his apparent weight in N.

(b) At what speed, in m/s, will the pilot experience weightlessness?

(c) When the pilot is at the lowest point of the loop determine his apparent weight in N. N

Expert Solution

(a) When the pilot is at the highest point of the loop determine his apparent weight in N.

At the height point of the loop, centripetal force will be acting upwards, the weight of the pilot will be acting downwards

Apparent weight,

(a) ANSWER:

==========================

(b) At what speed, in m/s, will the pilot experience weightlessness?

The pilot will experience weightlessness when the apparent weight is zero

Apparent weight,

(b) ANSWER:

============================

(c) When the pilot is at the lowest point of the loop determine his apparent weight in N. N

At the lowest point of the loop, centripetal force and weight of the pilot will be acting downwards.

In this stunt, two skydivers will step out of opposite sides of a stationary hotair balloon 1500 meters above the ground. The second skydiver will leave the balloon 20 seconds after the first skydiver but you want them both to land on the ground at the same time. The show is planned for a day with no wind so assume that all motion isvertical....
