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>

The density of lead is 11.3 g/cm3. what mass of lead is required to make a 1.00 cm3 fishing sinker?
Elza [17]

The mass of lead required to make a 1.00 cm3 fishing sinker is 11.3g.

What is mass?

Mass is a metric used in physics to express inertia, a fundamental characteristic of all matter. A mass of matter's resistance to altering its direction or speed in response to the application of a force is what it essentially is. The change that an applied force produces is smaller the more mass a body has.

Given :

Density of lead = 11.3 g/cm3

Volume of  sinker  =  1.00 cm3

One of a substance's attributes is density, which is calculated by dividing the mass by the volume. Mathematically:

Density : Mass / volume

therefore after putting the values,

mass= 11.3g

An attacker at the base of a castle wall 3.60 m high throws a rock straight up with speed 8.00 m/s from a height of 1.70 m above
ryzh [129]

Answer:

we can say here that | v² - u² | is the same for upward as for downward and change in the speed is different here so | v - u | same whenever rock travel up, down for same time and not same distances

Explanation:

given data

base = 3.60 m

speed u = 8 m/s

height = 1.70 m

to find out

check change in speed

solution

we know here formula for v  that is

v² = u² - 2gh      ............1        for upward speed

v² = u² + 2gh     ............2        for projected speed

so here put all value and find v with h = 3.60 - 1.70 = 1.9 m

v² = 8² - 2(9.8) 1.9  = 26.76

v² = 8² + 2(9.8) 1.9   = 101.24

v = 5.173  m/s    ..............3

v = 10.061 m/s   ...................4

so change in speed form 3 and 4 equation

change in speed = v - u = 8 - 5.173  = 2.827 m/s     .................5

change in speed = v - u = 10.061 - 8 = 2.061 m/s     ..................6

so now we can say here that | v² - u² | is the same for upward as for downward and change in the speed is different here so | v - u | same whenever rock travel up, down for same time and not same distances

a missile is moving 1810 m/s at a 20.0 degree angle. it needs to hit a target 19,500 m away in a 32.0 degree direction in 9.20 s
Ket [755]

Answer:

112 m/s², 79.1°

Explanation:

In the x direction, given:

x₀ = 0 m

x = 19,500 cos 32.0° m

v₀ = 1810 cos 20.0° m/s

t = 9.20 s

Find: a

x = x₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

19,500 cos 32.0° = 0 + (1810 cos 20.0°) (9.20) + ½ a (9.20)²

a = 21.01 m/s²

In the y direction, given:

y₀ = 0 m

y = 19,500 sin 32.0° m

v₀ = 1810 sin 20.0° m/s

t = 9.20 s

Find: a

y = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

19,500 sin 32.0° = 0 + (1810 sin 20.0°) (9.20) + ½ a (9.20)²

a = 109.6 m/s²

The magnitude of the acceleration is:

a² = ax² + ay²

a² = (21.01)² + (109.6)²

a = 112 m/s²

And the direction is:

θ = atan(ay / ax)

θ = atan(109.6 / 21.01)

θ = 79.1°
