A fighter plane is moving in a vertical circle of radius \( r \). Its minimum velocity at the highest point \( A \) of the circle will be:
A fighter plane is moving in a vertical circle of radius \( r \). Its minimum velocity at the highest point \( A \) of the circle will be:
Show Hint
At the highest point of a vertical circle, the minimum velocity is determined by balancing the gravitational force and the centripetal force. The correct velocity ensures the plane just stays in the circle.
