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.
The final combined velocity after the collision is 20.2 m/s
Explanation:
We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of momentum: in fact, in absence of external forces, the total momentum of the two car and of the truck must be conserved before and after the collision.
This means that we can write the following equation:
where:
is the mass of the sport car
is the initial velocity of the car (taking its direction as positive direction)
is the mass of the truck
is the initial velocity of the truck
is the final combined velocity of the car and the truck, after the collision
Re-arranging the equation and substituting the values, we find the velocity after the collision:
And the positive sign indicates their final direction is the same as the initial direction of the two vehicles.
