Why do the passengers on a high-flying airplane not appear weightless, similar to the astronauts on the space station?

<span>Even in space, there is still presence of gravity. The cause of weightlessness is not how far above the earth the space shuttle is but rather how fast it is travelling. The shuttle is in free fall causing weightlessness, but it is travelling fast enough to miss the earth as it falls. Similarly, the airplane could also provide weightlessness if it went free fall as well. However, that ends as the plane hits the ground. </span>

A capacitor is connected to an AC generator. As the generator's frequency is increased, what happens to the current in the capac
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

The current increases.

Explanation:

A capacitor can be defined as an electronic component used in electrical circuits to store charge temporarily.

A capacitor is connected to an AC generator. As the generator's frequency is increased, the current in the capacitor increases as well.

This ultimately implies that, when a capacitor is connected to an AC generator, the frequency of the circuit is directly proportional to the amount of current flowing through it.

According to the graph above, how large of a force is needed in order to stretch the string 1.00 meters?
gulaghasi [49]

My guess for this one would be; 400 N

My reasoning would be; it starts at 0 on both X and Y, if you need to get to 1.00 meters thats 4/4. 1/4 of 1.00 is .25, and on .25 its on 100 so multiply it by 4 to make 1.00 and you get 400 N
