What is the centripetal acceleration of a jet making a turn with a radius of 1.00km at a speed of 343 m/s

343 m/s ^2

3.43 m/s^2

1.18 x 10^2 m/s^2

1.18 x 10^5 m/s^2

r = radius of turn being made by the jet = 1.00 km = 1000 m (since 1 km = 1000 m)

v = speed of the jet making the turn = 343 m/s

a = centripetal acceleration of the jet making the turn

centripetal acceleration is given as

a = v²/r

so centripetal acceleration jet is hence given as

a = v²/r

inserting the values

a = v²/r

a = (343) ²/1000

a = 1.18 x 10² m/s²
