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?

An athlete swings a ball, connected to the end of a chain, in a horizontal circle. the athlete is able to rotate the ball at the rate of 8.13 rev/s when the length of the chain is 0.600 m. when he increases the length to 0.900 m, he is able to rotate the ball only 6.04 rev/s. (a) which rate of rotation gives the greater speed for the ball? 6.04 rev/s 8.13 rev/s (b) what is the centripetal acceleration of the ball at 8.13 rev/s? m/s2 (c) what is the centripetal acceleration at 6.04 rev/s? m/s2
