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 900 kg car is traveling at 20 m/s along the road. What force must be applied to the car to stop it in a distance of 30 m2 Assu
serg [7]

Answer:

A. 6000 N

Explanation:

v²=u²+2as

0²=20²+2x30xa

-400=60a

a=-400/60

a =-6.667m/s²

f =ma

f = 900 x 6.667 = 6003N

F = 6000N

A man fires a silver bullet of mass 2g with a velocity of200m/sec into wall. What is the temperature changeof the bullet? Note:
Sphinxa [80]

F=nmv

where;

n=no. of bullets = 1

m=mass of bullets=2g *10^-3

V=velocity of bullets200m/sec

F=1

loss in Kinetic energy=gain in heat energy

1/2MV^2=MS∆t

let M council M

=1/2V^2=S∆t

M=2g

K.E=MV^2/2

=(2*10^-3)(200)^2/2

2 councils 2

2*10^-3*4*10/2

K.E=40Js

H=mv∆t

(40/4.2)

40Js=40/4.2=mc∆t

40/4.2=2*0.03*∆t

=158.73°C

The Attempt at a Solution:::

I total = (3M)(0)^2 + (2M)(L/2)^2 + (M)(L)^2

I total = 3ML^2/2

It says the answer is 3ML^2/4 though.
