Wow thanks for all the responses.
I did not know difference between centripetal force and centrifugal force. Thank you for enlightening me.
I believe I understand the physics a little better and will have to look into the physiology of the inner ear a little bit more.
Again thanks for...
Thank you!
I had never thought of the rotational motion of the airplane and that makes sense.
I thought about it a bit more and guessing there is a relationship between how sharply the plane is banking and how large of a "circle" (cannot think of a better way to say it) the plane goes in...
I was recently riding on an airplane and became intrigued by how I could not feel when the airplane was turning.
I then tried to figure out the physics behind this sensation but to no avail. Could anyone provide an explanation from a physics standpoint as to why I am unable to feel when the...
You have the right idea about which equations to use.
Your definitions of your t's is not correct however. The t in the equation, h=3.20t^3, is being used to refer to the height of the helicopter at a certain time t.
What you are trying to solve for however is a different time, the time...
Everything is you've done looks great up to when you get
-\int\frac{1}{u^{2}}du
from there you integrate with respect to u.
Once you arrive at answer to this integral, you then substitute cos(x) back into the problem for u.
Let me know if you have any further questions about this.
I got the same answer you did...
What is the answer you are given?
Perhaps the answer is just formatted differently?
Maybe try combining the natural logs?
ln(y/x) + ln(x) = ln(yx/x) = ln(y)?
