A stunt pilot weighing 0.70 kN performs a vertical circular dive of radius 0.80 km. At the bottom of the dive, the pilot has a speed of 0.20 km/s which at that instant is not changing. What force does the plane exert on the pilot?

a. 3.6 kN up b. 4.3 kN up c. 2.9 kN down d. 2.9 kN up e. 5.8 kN down

The Moon, Mercury, and Mars do not have plate tectonics because

A) they have cooled so rapidly that they do not have enough internal convection to break up their thick crusts B) they have no oceans for subduction and seafloor spreading to occur in C) impacts have filled in the plate boundaries essentially turning the process off D) their crusts have dried up and thickened so the crust cannot be broken up into plates
