In civil aviation, a "standard turn" for level flight of a propeller-driven airplane is one in which the airplane makes a complete circular turn in 2 min. if the plane's speed is 179 m/s, what is the radius of the circle? answer in units of km. what is the centripetal acceleration of the plane? answer in units of m/s^2.

Explanation:

The plane makes a complete circular turn at v=179m/s in 120s, so we can calculate the circumference of this circle with C=vt since it is the distance traveled.

Since the relation between the circumference and the radius is , we have:

Substituting our values:

The centripetal acceleration is then calculated using its formula:

2b2t

explanation:
