Centripetal Force (Loop the Loop)

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the apparent weight of a pilot during a loop-the-loop maneuver in a jet. Given the pilot's mass of 78.0 kg, a constant speed of 105 m/s, and a loop radius of 0.562 km, the formula used is F = m(V^2/R). The calculated force at the bottom of the loop is 1530.2 N. The apparent weight is determined by adding the gravitational force to the centripetal force experienced during the maneuver.

Homework Statement


A pilot, whose mass is 78.0 kg, makes a loop-the-loop in a fast jet. Assume that the jet maintains a constant speed of 105 m/s and that the radius of the loop-the-loop is 0.562 km. What is the apparent weight that the pilot feels (i.e., the force with which the pilot presses against the seat) at the bottom of the loop-the-loop?


Homework Equations


F = m(V^2/R)


The Attempt at a Solution



F = 78 (105^2/562)
F = 1530.2 N

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'

My initial calculation was to subtract V1 from V2 to show that from the perspective of the second aircraft the first one is -300km/h. So i checked with ChatGPT and it said I cant just subtract them because I have an angle between them. So I dont understand the reasoning of it. Like why should a velocity be dependent on an angle? I was thinking about how it would look like if the planes where parallel to each other, and then how it look like if one is turning away and I dont see it. Since...
