Answer:

The feeling of weight is one of compression.

Explanation:

All your body is being pulled down by gravity yet your feet ( if standing) or your back or something is holding you up.  

Your body is compressed by the PAIR of forces and it is that compression that you feel.  

So when you remove the supporting force then all the body is free to move together and there is no compression within you.  

Hence you perceive no weight.

Answer:

The feeling of weightlessness occurs because of the absence of a force of support on your body.

Explanation:

In the cases in which your body's experimenting "free fall", that is to say, when it's falling at the same acceleration than gravity, it means your body lacks support. On the other hand, the sensation of having weight is produced because you stand on the floor or float in water, perceiving its support.

What is the acceleration due to gravity at an altitude of 116?
Schach [20]
Gravitational acceleration (Ga) is  inversely proportional to  k / Distance^2

so Ga * Distance^2 = K

On the surface of Earth acceleration due to gravity is about 9.8m/s^2 with an average distance to the earths core of about 6371 km (Wolfram alpha).

So k = 9.8 * 6371^2
I'm presuming that your distance of 116 is km

As 
Ga = k / distance^2 

Ga = ((9.8 * 6371^2) / (6371 + 116)^2 ) = 397778481.8 / 42081169

= 9.45 m/s^2 to 2sf

Tiana jogs 1.5 km along a straight path and then turns and jogs 2.4 km in the opposite direction. She then turns back and jogs 0
vichka [17]

Answer:

Distance: 4.6km Displacement= -0.2km

Explanation:

Total distance: 1.5+2.4+0.7= 4.6 km

Displacement: 1.5-2.4+0.7= -0.2km

The displacement may also be 0.2km, it just depends on if it wants it negative or not.

Khalil is driving laps at a racetrack. The track is circular and has a radius of 25 m. After
zysi [14]

The difference between the distance and the displacement is the speed is a scalar while displacement is a vector.

<h3>What is the distance an the displacement?</h3>

The distance is the difference between two points while the displacement is the difference between two points in a specified direction. Given that speed is a scalar and the displacement is a vector. It follows that we must take the displacement when obtaining the displacement.

Thus, the distance that is covered after one lap is  the circumference of the circle = 2πr = 2 * 3.142 * 25 = 31 m Then for 2 laps = 62 m

The displacement is obtained when we take the direction into consideration. Owing to the fact that the runner returns to the starting point each time, the displacement is zero.
