A 70 kg stunt pilot begins pulling out of a dive into a vertical circle. If the plane's speed at the lowest point of the circle is 80 m/s, what is the apparent weight of the pilot at the lowest point of the pullout? The pilot experiences a force of 5g from the centripetal acceleration at the bottom of the dive.

3430 N

3986 N

Apparent weight of pilot due to centripetal acceleration:

m v^2 / R = 5 g m = 5 * 70 * 9.8 = 3430 N

Weight of pilot = 70 * 9.8 = 686 N

Total = 3430 + 686 = 4116 N

speed of light in vacuum is 300,000 km/s

speed of light in other mediums is given by the expression v = c/n, where c is the speed of light in vacuum and n is the refractive index of medium.

for the first medium v = 200,000 km/s

  so, refractive index of medium = 300000/200000 = 1.5

    1.5 refractive index is usually for glass. so first medium is glass.

for the second medium v = 250,00 km/s

so, refractive index of medium = 300000/250000 = 1.2

    1.2 refractive index is usually for water. so second medium is water.

for the third medium v = 0 km/s

so, refractive index of medium = 300000/0 = ∞

    ∞ refractive index is usually for opaque mediums. so third medium is opaque medium.
