Ajet fighter flying at 300 m/s (just below the speed of sound) makes a turn of radius 2.00 km. (a) what is its centripetal acceleration in gs? (b) suppose the pilot makes an emergency turn to avoid an approaching missile, subjecting himself to a centripetal acceleration of 10 gs, while flying at 530 m/s (supersonic). what is the radius, in km, of his turn? (this must be short-lived because fighter planes can only briefly endure such large accelerations without serious damage, and the pilot will soon black out at 10 gs.)

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh

where… mass: measured in kilograms (kg)

gravity: gravity constant on earth = 10.00 m/s2

height: measured in meters (m)

gpe: measured in joules (j) or kilojoules (kj)

how do you solve gpe?

gravitational potential energy (gpe) is the energy an object has because of its position above the. ground.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh.
