Why do the passengers in high-altitude jet planes feel the sensation of weight while passengers in an orbiting space vehicle, su

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.

Answer:

Decreases/Reduces

Explanation:

Fill in the blank:

Consider the equation Work = Force X Distance.

<em>If a machine  increases the distance over which a force is exerted, the force </em>

<em>required to do a given amount of work</em> .........

If the work is a constant value, then by isolating force from the equation, we get:

Force = Work / Distance

By increasing the value of the Distance, then the quotient Work. Distance diminishes, and therefore the required force decreases (diminishes, reduces)

A 75.0kg bicyclist (including the bicycle) is pedaling to the right, causing her speed to increase at a rate of 2.20m/s^2, despi
malfutka [58]

1) 4 forces

2) 165 N

3) 225 N

Explanation:

1)

There are in total 4 forces acting on the bicylist:

- The gravitational force on the byciclist, acting vertically downward, of magnitude mg, where m is the mass of the bicyclist and g is the acceleration due to gravity

- The normal force exerted by the floor on the bicyclist and the bike, N, vertically upward, and of same magnitude as the gravitational force

- The force of push F, acting horizontally forward, given by the push exerted by the bicylist on the pedals

- The air drag, R, of magnitude R = 60.0 N, acting horizontally backward, in the direction opposite to the motion of the bicyclist

2)

The magnitude of the net force on the bicyclist can be calculated by considering separately the two directions.

- Along the vertical direction, we have the gravitational force (downward) and the normal force (upward); these two forces are equal in magnitude, since the acceleration of the bicyclist along this direction is zero, therefore the net force in this direction is zero.

- Along the horizontal direction, the two forces (forward force of push and air drag) are balanced, since the acceleration is non-zero, so we can use Newton's second law of motion to find the net force on the bicylist:

F_{net}=ma

where

F_{net} is the net force

m = 75.0 kg is the mass of the bicyclist

a=2.20 m/s^2 is its acceleration

Solving, we find the net force:

F_{net}=(75.0)(2.20)=165 N

3)

In this part, we basically want to find the forward force of push, F.

We can rewrite the net force acting on the bicyclist as

F_{net}=F-R

where:

F is the forward force of push

R is the air drag

We know that:

F_{net}=165 N is the net force on the bicyclist

R = 60.0 N is the magnitude of the air drag

Therefore, by re-arranging the equation, we can find the force generated by the bicylicst by pedaling:

F=F_{net}+R=165+60=225 N
