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.

A mother hawk screeches as she dives at you. You recall from biology that female hawks screech at 785 Hz , but you hear the scre

Answer:

Speed of the hawk, v = 40.4 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Exact frequency of the female, f = 785 Hz

Observed frequency of female, f' = 890 Hz

Speed of sound, v = 343 m/s

Let v' is the speed of the hawk. It is based on the concept of Doppler's effect. We know that when the object approaches you, its speed is given by :

$f'=f(\dfrac{v}{v-v'})$
