Passengers in an aircraft are subject to the Normal and Gravity Force acting on them at a low 'orbit', so tiny that it can be many times compared to the same surface of the earth when speaking in general terms.

In a high orbit space vehicle or in the same space, said force decreases considerably or simply disappears, generating the sensation of weightlessness.

Remember that the Force of Gravity is given under the principle

F_g = \frac{GMm}{r^2}

Where,

G = Gravitational Universal constant

M = Mass of the planet

m = mass of the object

r = Distance from center of the planet

When the radius grows considerably the gravitational force begins to decrease.

What is the average acceleration of a tennis ball that has an initial velocity of 6.0 m/s [E] and a final velocity of 7.3 m/s [W
Marizza181 [45]

Given :

The average acceleration of a tennis ball that has an initial velocity of 6.0 m/s.

and a final velocity of 7.3 m/s.

It is in contact with a tennis racket for 0.094 s

To Find :

The average acceleration of the tennis ball.

Solution :

We know, average acceleration is given by :

a_{avg}=\dfrac{Final \ velocity-Initial\ velocity}{Time\ Taken}\\\\a_{avg}=\dfrac{7.3-6.0}{0.094}\ m/s^2\\\\a_{avg}=13.83\ m/s^2

Therefore, average velocity is given by 13.83 m/s².

Hence, this is the required solution.

fredd [130]

Answer:

0.25m²

Explanation:

We know that the summation of forces in the vertical direction is zero

So

PA-mg=0

A=mg/p

So

Substituting

A= 75* 9.8/3*10^-3

=0.25m² which is the total shoe area

A wire along the z axis carries a current of 4.9 A in the z direction Find the magnitude and direction of the force exerted on a
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

<h2>0.069 N, in the X direction</h2>

Explanation:

According to Flemming's left hand rule, it sates that if the first three fingers of the left hand are held mutually at right angles to one another, the fore finger will point in the direction of magnetic field, the middle finger will point in direction of current, while the thumb will point to the direction of force.

Mathematically the law is stated as

F= BIL

given data

Magnetic field B=  0.43T

Current I= 4.9 A

length of conductor L= 3.3cm to meter , 3.3/100=  0.033 m

Applying the formula the force is calculated as

F= 0.43*4.9* 0.033= 0.069 N

According to Flemming's rule the direction of all parameters are mutually perpendicular to one another, then the Force is in the X direction
