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>

Forces are measured in Newtons (N). Why are forces considered to be vectors?
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

A force has both magnitude and direction, therefore: Force is a vector quantity; its units are newtons, N. Forces can cause motion; alternatively forces can act to keep (an) object(s) at rest. ... Consider two forces of magnitudes 5 N and 7 N acting on a particle, with an angle of 90◦ between them.

Answer:

2482 Kg.m/s

Explanation:

Momentum is a product of mass of an object and its velocity with consideration to the direction of velocity and expressed as, p=mv where m represent mass of the ostrich and v is the velocity in m/s, p is momentum.

Substituting the mass of ostrich with 146 kg and the velocity as 17 m/s then the momentum of the ostrich is equal to

P=146*17=2482 kg.m/s

Therefore, the momentum of ostrich is equal to 2482 kg.m/s
