To withstand ‘g-forces’ of up to 10 g’s, caused by suddenly pulling out of a steep dive, fighter jet pilots train on a ‘human centrifuge.’ If the length of the centrifuge arm is 12 m, at what speed is the rider moving when she experiences 10 g’s?

34.292 m/s

Explanation:

When plane dives the gravitational acceleration becomes 10 times extra i-e

acceleration a = g= 10g's=10 ×9.8= 98 m/sec2

radius of dive circle = 12 m

v= speed= ?

Using

==> = a × r = 98 × 12 = 1176

==> v=

==> v= 34.292 m/s

electrical potential energy =0.072 j

explanation:

electrical potential energy is given by

u= q δv

q= charge=6 c

δv= potential difference and is given by

δv= e d

e= electric field

d= distance=5 mm=0.005 m

δv=2.4 (0.005)=0.012 v

now electric potential energy= u= q δv

u=6 (0.012)

u=0.072 j
