An airplane traveling at 201 m/s makes a turn. What is the smallest radius of the circular path (in km) that the pilot can make and keep the centripetal acceleration under 5.0 m/s2 ?

the smallest radius of the circular path is 8.1 km

Explanation:

The computation of the smallest radius of the circular path is given below:

Given that

V = Velocity = 201 m/s

a_c = acceleration = 5 m/s^2

radius = ?

As we know that

a_c = V^2 ÷ r

5 = 201^2 ÷ r

r = 201^2 ÷ 5

= 8,080.2 g

= 8.1 km

Hence, the smallest radius of the circular path is 8.1 km
