Feeling of Weight.

When walking, you feel the weight on your feet, therefore, your brain automatically refers to it as a source of weight.

In the air there is no platform to land on, therefore the brain does not have the conscience to register you getting pulled down.

REY [17]

Answer:

D.

Explanation:

Given that your boat departs from the bank of a river that has a swift current parallel to its banks. If you want to cross this river in the shortest amount of time, you should direct your boat: so that it drifts with the current.

If the boat moves perpendicular to the current, the current flow will be the resistance to the movement of the boat. So, it's better for the boat to drifts perpendicularly with the current.

The best answer is therefore option D.

A 5 kg ball takes 13.3 seconds for one revolution around the circle. What's the magnitude of the angular velocity of this motion
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer: 0.47 rad/sec

Explanation:

By definition, the angular velocity is the rate of change of the angle traveled with time, so we can state the following:

ω = ∆θ/ ∆t

Now, we are told that in 13.3 sec, the ball completes one revolution around the circle, which means that, by definition of angle, it has rotated 2 π rad (an arc of 2πr over the radius r), so we can find ω as follows:

ω = 2 π / 13.3 rad/sec = 0.47 rad/sec

Which best summarizes a concept related to the work-energy theorem?
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

When work is positive, the environment does work on an object.

Explanation:

According to the work-energy theorem, the net work done by the forces on a body or an object is equal to the change produced in the kinetic energy of the body or an object.

The concept that summarizes a concept related to the work-energy theorem is that ''When work is positive, the environment does work on an object.''
