Let the lift be L which acts perpendicular to the plane's wings

mg= 19600 N
m= 1997.96 kg as g=9.81 m/s
v= 100 m/s

  • Velocity of Circular Motion

    In physics, circular motion is rotation with constant speed around in a circle: a circular path or a circular orbit. It is one of the simplest cases of accelerated motion.

  • acceleration and velocity of the circular motion

    126732 Circular Motion In uniform circular motion, the acceleration is perpendicular to the velocity at every instant. Is this true when the motion is not uniform, that is, when the speed is not constant?

  • Magnitude of force that maintains a car's circular motion; tangential speed

    The magnitude of forces that maintain a car's circular motion is given.

  • Detailed Explanation to Circular motion

    The net force acting on an object in circular motion is always perpendicular to the direction of motion and in the direct of the center of rotation (definition).

  • Centripetal Acceleration

    The direction of motion of this body at any instant at a point on the circular path is along the tangent drawn at that point.
