Question

Calculate the force responsible for changine the velocity of an aircraft carrying out a level turn on a circle of radius 400m at a velocity of 300m/s. The mass of the aircraft is 4500kg.

Any sources to the formula with the answer would also be appreciated.

Answer 1

Using radial coordinates, you have a change velocity (radial acceleration), so F-mass * acceleration and a centripetal force which is radial. Check out link,
