When an F-14 airplane takes-off an aircraft carrier. It is literally catapulted off the flight deck. The plane’s final speed at take-off is 68.2m/s. The F-14 starts from rest. The plane accelerates in 2 seconds and has a mass of 29,545kg. What is the total force that gets the F-14 in the air?

At a certain instant after jumping from the airplane a, a skydiver b is in the position shown and has reached a terminal (constant) speed vb = 52 m/s. the airplane has the same constant speed va = 52 m/s, and after a period of level flight is just beginning to follow the circular path shown of radius ρa = 2330 m. (a) determine the velocity and acceleration of the airplane relative to the skydiver. (b) determine the time rate of change of the speed vr of the airplane and the radius of curvature ρr of its path, both as observed by the nonrotating skydiver.

Arailroad car collides with and sticks to an identical railroad car that is initially at rest. after the collision, the total kinetic energy of the two cars is a) the same as before. b) half as much as before. c) one third as much as before. d) one fourth as much as before. e) twice as much as before.

A55-kg pilot flies a jet trainer in a half vertical loop of 1200-m radius so that the speed of the trainer decreases at a constant rate. knowing that the plane has a speed of 550 km/h at point a, and the pilot experiences weightlessness at point c (i.e., the normal force from the seat bottom is zero), determine (a) the deceleration of the plane, (b) the force exerted on her by the seat of the trainer when the trainer is at point b.
