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

Physics

sergey [27]3 years ago

<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>

What type of energy dose an earthquake transfer
IrinaVladis [17]
Earthquakes release energy in several forms: The energy in seismic waves that cause the ground to shake. Heat energy associated with friction on the fault slip surface. Gravitational potential energy (the energy stored when lifting something off the ground, for example) may change as a result of the earthquake.

A 2.0-cm-diameter parallel-plate capacitor with a spacing of 0.50 mm is charged to 200 V?What is the total energy stores in the
Rama09 [41]

1) 1.11\cdot 10^{-7} J

The capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor is given by:

C=\frac{\epsilon_0 A}{d}

where

\epsilon_0 is the vacuum permittivity

A is the area of each plate

d is the distance between the plates

Here, the radius of each plate is

r=\frac{2.0 cm}{2}=1.0 cm=0.01 m

so the area is

A=\pi r^2 = \pi (0.01 m)^2=3.14\cdot 10^{-4} m^2

While the separation between the plates is

d=0.50 mm=5\cdot 10^{-4} m

So the capacitance is

C=\frac{(8.85\cdot 10^{-12} F/m)(3.14\cdot 10^{-4} m^2)}{5\cdot 10^{-4} m}=5.56\cdot 10^{-12} F

And now we can find the energy stored,which is given by:

U=\frac{1}{2}CV^2=\frac{1}{2}(5.56\cdot 10^{-12} F/m)(200 V)^2=1.11\cdot 10^{-7} J

2) 0.71 J/m^3

The magnitude of the electric field is given by

E=\frac{V}{d}=\frac{200 V}{5\cdot 10^{-4} m}=4\cdot 10^5 V/m

and the energy density of the electric field is given by

u=\frac{1}{2}\epsilon_0 E^2

and using

E=4\cdot 10^5 V/m, we find

u=\frac{1}{2}(8.85\cdot 10^{-12} F/m)(4\cdot 10^5 V/m)^2=0.71 J/m^3

Density of iron in CGS unit is 7.8 g/cm3. Its density is SI is
kumpel [21]

Answer:

7800kg/m³

Explanation:

Density of iron in CGS unit is 7.8 g/cm3. Its density is SI is

Given the density of iron = 7.8 g/cm3.

The SI units must be in kg/m³

7.8g = 7.8/1000 kg

7.8g = 0.0078kg

1cm³ = 0.000001m³

7.8g/cm³

= 0.0078/0.000001 kg/m³

= 7800kg/m³

Hence the density in SI unit is 7800kg/m³
