A hang glider and its pilot have a total mass equal to 119 kg. While executing a 360° turn, the glider moves in a circle with a 7-m radius. The glider's speed is 15 m/s. (Assume the glider turns along the horizontal plane.)

a:) What is the net force on the hang glider? (Answer in Netowns)

b:) What is the acceleration? (Answer in meters per second squared)

Solutions

Expert Solution

Part A

Newton's second law is applied along the radial direction, the net force that causes the centripetal acceleration is related to the acceleration with the following equation:

The particle experiences an acceleration that has a magnitude

the acceleration is called centripetal acceleration because is directed towards the center of the circle

Part B

To calculate the acceleration we use the equation for the centripetal acceleration:
