<span>Even in space, there is still presence of gravity. The
cause of weightlessness is not how far above the earth the space shuttle is but
rather how fast it is travelling. The shuttle is in free fall causing
weightlessness, but it is travelling fast enough to miss the earth as it falls.
Similarly, the airplane could also provide weightlessness if it went free fall
as well. However, that ends as the plane hits the ground. </span>
Answer:
The slope of the graph is what you need. That tells you the speed not the velocity. In order to find the velocity you would also need to know the direction of the motion.
Answer:
VR = 
Explanation:
A machine is a device that can be used to overcome a load by the application of an effort through a pivot. Examples are: pulleys, wedge, screw jack, wheel and axle etc.
The wheel and axle is a simple device that can be used to lift a load through a height. Its velocity ratio (VR) can be determined by:
VR = 
Note that for a practical wheel and axle, the radius of the wheel is greater than the radius of the axle.
