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.

Under favorable circumstances, including reaction time, a motor vehicle with good brakes going 50 miles per hour can be stopped
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

about 229 feet.

Explanation:

According to my research on the information provided by the drivers educational book, It is said that a motor vehicle with good brakes that is going at 50 miles per hour can be stopped within about 229 feet. This is dependent 100% on having good brakes as well as there being normal driving conditions (on pavement with no rain or other weather that may affect driving conditions).

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.

Describe how humans’ actions and natural processes have modified coastal regions in Louisiana and other locations
il63 [147K]
Coastal erosion has depleted a large portion of South Louisiana's wetlands along the coastline in swamps and marshes mainly due to storm surges. But other factors also contributed to this erosion. Canals and waterways dug through the marshes and swamps for the oil industry is one factor. Man-made levees erected to provide protection to residents living adjacent to the river is another major cause. Large scale logging especially in the early 1900's also damaged the wetlands.
