Question
You are on an airplane that is landing. The plane in front of your plane blows a tire. The pilot of your plane is advised to abort the landing, so he pulls up, moving in a semicircular upward-bending path. The path has a radius of 500 m with a radial acceleration of 18 m/s2 . What is the plane’s speed?

Answer: plane speed is 94.87m/s
Explanation: since the plane move upward in a semicircular path, the acceleration is a centripetal acceleration with radius of 500metre. But the Centripetal acceleration is given as
Centripetal acceleration
= Speed ²/radius
Making speed subject of formula we have,
Speed² = centripetal acceleration*radius
Speed² = 18*500
=9000
Speed =√9000
= 94.87m/s
