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>

To lift a load of 100 kg a distance of 1 m an effort of 25 kg must be applied over an inclined plane of length 4 m. What must be
andreyandreev [35.5K]
Work = force * distance.
We must produce twice as much energy as we are lifting the weight twice as high.
But we are not increasing the force so we must increase the length of the ramp ( distance ) instead.
The new length will be twice as great as the previous length.
So 8 metres is required. 


25 kg * 8 m = work = 100 kg * 2 m

You're at rest in a hammock when a hungry mosquito sees an opportunity for lunch. A mild 2 m/s breeze is blowing. If the mosquit
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

A) against the breeze at 2 m/s

Explanation:

Given that air is blowing at 2 m/s.An a mosquito eat lunch.If mosquito want to eat lunch he have to move opposite to the direction of air because air is blowing at 2 m/s.So we can say that mosquito have to move against the air.

But in we have to protect our self from mosquito because if any mosquito bite us then it may lead to fever .So the protection is very important from mosquito .

Therefore the answer is --

A

Starting from rest, a 68.0 kg woman jumps down to the floor from a height of 0.790 m, and immediately jumps back up into the air
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

a) I = 0 N s,  b)  v = -3.935 m / s, c) vf = 3.935 m / s,   d)   y = 0.790 m

Explanation:

a) Let's start by defining the upward direction (+ y) as positive. For this part of the exercise we must use the momentum relationship

          I = ∫F dt

The force of the woman on the floor is given and by action and rection the floor exerts on the woman a force of equal magnitude, but opposite direction

        I = ∫ (9200 t - 11500 t2) dt

        I = 9200 t² / 2 - 11500 t³ / 3

We evaluate between the lower limit t = 0 and upper limit t = 0.800 s

       I = 9200 (0.8² -0) - 11500 (0.8³ -0)

       I = 5888 -5888

       I = 0 N s

Directed from the floor to the woman

b) For this part we use kinematics

      v² = v₀² - 2g y

     v = √ (0 - 2 9.8 (-0.79))

     v = 3.935 m / s

The speed direction is down

c) for this we use the relationship between momentum and the amount of movement

      I = ΔP

      I = m vf - m v₀

     vf = (I + m v₀) / m

This is the impulse of women on the floor    

      vf = ( 0 + 68 (3.935)) / 68

      vf = 3.935 m / s

d) let's use kinematics

      v₂ = v₀² - 2gy

      0 = v₀² - 2gy

      y = v₀² / 2g

      y = 3.935²/2 9.8

      y = 0.790 m
