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
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.
a) An inflated balloon was pressed against a wall after it has been rubbed with a piece of synthetic cloth. It was found that the balloon sticks to the wall. <u>This is because a positive and negative electric charge is produced, therefore the balloon sticks to the wall.</u>
b) When an object is thrown up, it comes back to ground <u>because of gravitational attraction force of earth</u>.
c) Mountaineers suffer nose bleeding at higher altitudes <u>because the oxygen level decreases with increase in altitude, which the body cannot adjust.</u>
d) Foundations of high rise buildings are kept wide <u>because more is the area of contact, less is the pressure efforts. So, foundations are wide so as to decrease the possibility of the building from falling down.</u>
e) Deep sea divers or high altitude fliers wear special suits <u>so as prevent their body from being crushed by the water pressure. Since water pressure is maximum at deep seas and oceans, therefore, more is the risk of being injured.</u>
f) Walls of a dam are thickened near the base <u>so that the dam can handle the kinetic energy pressure and prevent itself from breaking down, which if not, can lead to flooding</u>.

Answer:
S = 122.5m
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²
Time, t = 5 seconds
Since it's a free fall, initial velocity, u = 0
To find the displacement, we would use the second equation of motion given by the formula;
Where;
- S represents the displacement or height measured in meters.
- u represents the initial velocity measured in meters per seconds.
- t represents the time measured in seconds.
- a represents acceleration measured in meters per seconds square.
Substituting into the equation, we have;
S = 122.5m.
