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

Physics

<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>

Birdman is flying horizontally at a
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

X=92.49 m

Explanation:

Given that

u= 21 m/s

h= 97 m

Time taken to cover vertical distance h

h= 1/2 g t²

By putting the values

97 = 1/2 x 10 x  t²          ( g = 10 m/s²)

t= 4.4 s

The horizontal distance

X= u .t

X= 21 x 4.4

X=92.49 m

Which of the below is an example of mimicry that enables prey species avoid predation?
Marta_Voda [28]

b..a harmless organism imitating the look of a harmful organism

Explanation:

A harmless organism imitating the look of a harmful organism is one example of mimicry that enables prey species avoid predation.

Prey are smaller and less harmful organisms often hunted by larger organisms usually carnivores.

Mimicry is a form of evolutionary adaptation process in which two organisms of the same specie or different species tends to look alike.

It is a subtle defense mechanism developed by organism over an extended period of time.

The world speed record on water was set on October
Luda [366]

Answer: Remember speed is distance divided by time, so if he travels 1000 m in 7.045 s, his speed is

(1000 m)/(7.045 s) = 141.9 m/s.

Note there are 1609 metres in a mile, or 1 mi = 1609 m, so m = 1/1609 mi, or

141.9/1609 mi/s = 0.08822 mi/s. Now, note that 1 h = 3600 s, so the speed is

0.08822*3600 mi/h = 317.6 mi/h.
