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.

The electric flux through a square-shaped area of side 5 cm near a very large, thin, uniformly-charged sheet is found to be 3\ti
deff fn [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

side of square shape a=5\ cm

Electric flux \phi =3\times 10^{-5}\ N.m^2/C

Permittivity of free space \epsilon_0=8.85\times 10^{-12} \frac{C^2}{N.m^2}

Flux is given by

\phi =EA\cos \theta

where E=electric field strength

A=area

\theta=Angle between Electric field and area vector

E=\frac{\phi }{A\cos (0)}

E=\frac{3\times 10^{-5}}{25\times 10^{-4}\times \cos(0)}

E=0.012\ N/C

and Electric field  by a uniformly charged sheet is given by

E=\frac{\sigma }{2\epsilon_0}

where \sigma=charge density

=\frac{\sigma }{\epsilon_0}

\sigma =0.012\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}

\sigma =2.12\times 10^{-13}\ C/m^2

An airplane flies eastward and always accelerates at a constant rate. At one position along its path it has a velocity of 34.3 m
Tomtit [17]

Explanation:

We'll need two equations.

v² = v₀² + 2a(x - x₀)

where v is the final velocity, v₀ is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration, x is the final position, and x₀ is the initial position.

x = x₀ + ½ (v + v₀)t

where t is time.

Given:

v = 47.5 m/s

v₀ = 34.3 m/s

x - x₀ = 40100 m

Find: a and t

(47.5)² = (34.3)² + 2a(40100)

a = 0.0135 m/s²

40100 = ½ (47.5 + 34.3)t

t = 980 s
