Probably for the umbilical cord that connects babies (from their early stages in the womb to their removal) to their mothers. The cord is cut, forming the belly button. This is analogous to astronauts in space.

Because it is like the umbilical cord on a baby to its mother this is why they call it umbilical

Mike stands on a scale in an elevator. If the elevator is accelerating upwards with 4.9 m/s2, the scale reading is ____ times Mi
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

F - M a      force exerted by scales on student

M a = M (9.8 + 4.9) m/s^2      upwards chosen as positive

a = 1.5 g        net acceleration of student  due to force of scales

W =M g       weight of student   (actual weight)

Wapp = M 1.5 * g      apparent weight (on scales) of student

If the room radius is 4.5 m, and the rotation frequency is 0.8 revolutions per second when the floor drops out, what is the mini
kondaur [170]
<span>The force of static friction F equals the coefficient of friction u times the normal force N the object exerts on the surface: F = uN. N is the centripetal force of the wall on the people; N = ma_N, where m is the mass of the people and a_N is the centripetal acceleration. The people will not slip down if F is greater than the force of gravitation: F = uma_N > mg, or u > g/a_N. a_N is the velocity v of the people squared divided by the radius of the room r: a_N = v^2/r. The circumference of the room is 2 pi r = 28.3 m. So v = 28.3 * 0.8 m/sec = 22.6 m/sec. So a_N = 114 m/sec^2. g = 9.81 m/sec^2, so u must be at least 9.81/114 = 0.086.</span>
