Why do the passengers in high-altitude jet planes feel the sensation of weight while passengers in an orbiting space vehicle, su
kykrilka [37]

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.

nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Option B. 5 nC

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Capicitance (C) = 100 pF

Potential difference (V) = 50 V

Quantity of charge (Q) =?

Next, we shall convert 100 pF to Farad (F). This can be obtained as follow:

1 pF = 1×10¯¹² F

Therefore,

100 pF = 100 pF × 1×10¯¹² F / 1 pF

100 pF = 1×10¯¹⁰ F

Next, we shall determine the quantity of charge. This can be obtained as follow:

Capicitance (C) = 1×10¯¹⁰ F

Potential difference (V) = 50 V

Quantity of charge (Q) =?

Q = CV

Q = 1×10¯¹⁰ × 50

Q = 5×10¯⁹ C

Finally, we shall convert 5×10¯⁹ C to nano coulomb (nC). This can be obtained as follow:

1 C = 1×10⁹ nC

Therefore,

5×10¯⁹ C = 5×10¯⁹ C × 1×10⁹ nC / 1 C

5×10¯⁹ C = 5 nC

Thus, the quantity of charge is 5 nC

Verdich [7]

Answer:

<em>The fish displacement was -3.4 m</em>

Explanation:

<u>Distance and Displacement</u>

A moving object constantly travels some distance at defined periods of time. The total moved distance is the sum of each individual distance the object traveled. It can be written as:

dtotal=d1+d2+d3+...+dn

This sum is obtained independently of the direction the object moves.

The displacement only takes into consideration the initial and final points of the path defined by the object in its moving. The displacement, unlike distance, is a vectorial magnitude and can be even zero if the object starts and ends the movement at the same point.

The displacement, when the object moves in one axis only is given by:

d = final position - initial position

We know the fist started at 7.8 m from a given reference along the x-axis.

After some undisclosed movements, it ends up at the position 4.4 m. Thus, the displacement is:

d = 4.4 m - 7.8 m = -3.4 m

This means the fish ended up to the left of the position it started from.

The fish displacement was -3.4 m
