Exactly the same reason babies' cradles are built on curved runners, for rocking, and why we put the baby in a swing or rock the baby to sleep in our arms.  We are hard-wired to become soothed and relaxed by gentle repetitive motion.

But that still isn't an explanation of "Why".  My own understanding is that this is a carry-over from the earliest stages of our brain formation, when we were suspended in a pool of warm fluid in utero and our mother walked around during the normal activity of her normal day.

In my own personal case, I could never be an aircraft pilot.  As soon as my seat-belt is buckled and the airplane starts bobbing up and down, even while still on the ground, I am out cold.  I seldom remember take-off.  I have been on commercial business flights, that lasted 18 hours and I slept through 16 of them.  Turbulence in flight is even better.  If I happen to be awake, flying into a storm will knock me out in seconds.

A series RLC circuit consists of a 52.0 Ω resistor, a 4.80 mH inductor, and a 330 nF capacitor. It is connected to an oscillator
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

(G) 75.11 ohm

(H) 0.08 A

(I) 46.2 degree

Explanation:

R = 52 ohm

L = 4.8 m H = 4.8 x 106-3 H

C = 330 nF = 330 x 10^-9 F

Vo = 6 V

(G)

f = 5000 Hz

Let the impedance is Z.

X_{L}= 2 \pi fL = 2 \times 3.14\times 5000\times 4.8\times 10^{-3}=150.72 ohm

X_{c}= \frac{1}{2 \pi fC}=\frac{1}{2\times 3.14\times 5000\times 330\times 10^{-9}}=96.51 ohm

Z=\sqrt{R^{2}+\left ( X_{L}-X_{c} \right )^{2}}

Z=\sqrt{52^{2}+\left (150.72-96.51)^{2}}=75.11 ohm

(H) Let Io be the peak current

I_{0}=\frac{V_{0}}{Z}=\frac{6}{75.11}=0.0798 A = 0.08 A

(I) Let Ф be the phase angle

tan\phi = \frac{X_{L}-X_{C}}{R}

tan\phi =\frac{150.72-96.51}}{52}=1.0425

Ф = 46.2 degree
