How come in free fall you feel weightless even though gravity is pulling down on you?

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.

The process in which organ systems work to maintain a stable internal environment is called homeostasis. Keeping a stable internal environment requires constant adjustments. Here are just three of the many ways that human organ systems help the body maintain homeostasis:
Respiratory system: A high concentration of carbon dioxide in the blood triggers faster breathing. The lungs exhale more frequently, which removes carbon dioxide from the body more quickly.
Excretory system: A low level of water in the blood triggers retention of water by the kidneys. The kidneys produce more concentrated urine, so less water is lost from the body.
Endocrine system: A high concentration of sugar in the blood triggers secretion of insulin by an endocrine gland called the pancreas. Insulin is a hormone that helps cells absorb sugar from the blood.

2. When the pump removed the air in<br> the bell, the balloon<br> contracted<br> expanded
IRINA_888 [86]

When the pump removed the air in  the bell, the balloon expanded.

<u>Option: B</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

In order to construct our own environment in the glass jar known as bell jar system, which can be used to explore and consider our larger environment on Earths, for an instance. Here a glass jar that hinges on an airtight rubber basis i.e seals appropriately. At the top of the jar, a bung is connected to it which passed via a metal tube. It has an adjacent flexible tube that goes to a hand vacuum pump and the best hand-powered pump was made with a wine preserver.

When the pump extracts the air from the bell jar, the pressure inside the balloon naturally decreases. The balloon usually has a air pressure around it, which restricts its size, but when this air is extracted and the pressure around it decreases the gas in the balloon will expand and the balloon seems to be inflating. When you release the air back into the bell jar, it will once again compress back to its actual size.

What mass of water must evaporate from the skin of a 70.0 kg man to cool his body 1.00 ∘C? The heat of vaporization of water at
romanna [79]

Answer:

100 cc

Explanation:

Heat released in cooling human body by t degree

= mass of the body x specific heat of the body x t

Substituting the data given

Heat released by the body

= 70 x 3480 x 1

= 243600 J

Mass of water to be evaporated

= 243600 / latent heat of vaporization of water

= 243600 / 2420000

= .1 kg

= 100 g

volume of water

= mass / density

= 100 / 1

100 cc

1 / 10 litres.

The potential energy for a certain mass moving in one dimension is given by U(x)=(2.0J/m3)x3−(15J/m2)x2+(36J/m)x−23JU(x)=(2.0J/m
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:x=2 and x=3

Explanation:

Given

Potential Energy for a certain mass is

U(x)=2x^3-15x^2+36x-23

and we know force is given by

F=-\frac{\mathrm{d} U}{\mathrm{d} x}

F=-(2\times 3x^2-15\times 2x+36)

For Force to be zero F=0

\Rightarrow 6x^2-30x+36=0

\Rightarrow x^2-5x+6=0

\Rightarrow x^2-2x-3x+6=0

\Rightarrow (x-2)(x-3)=0

Therefore at x=2 and x=3 Force on particle is zero.
