Una persona pesa 700 N al nivel del mar. ¿Cuándo sube a un avión a 10000 m de altura pesará más, igual o menos? Bien explicado por favor

The weight of the person decreases.

Explanation:

Weight of person at sea level = 700 N

height = 10000m

We know that the weight is given by product of mass and the acceleration due to gravity.

The acceleration due to gravity at height is given by

Where, R is the radius of earth and h is the height.

Now, as we go on heights , the acceleration due to gravity decreases, so the weight also decreases as we go on heights.

air exerts forces on falling objects near earth’s surface.

explanation:

the term 'free falls' refer to object that are falling towards the earth, in a situation in which gravity is the only force acting on the object.

for an object in free fall, the acceleration is constant (g, the gravitational acceleration), and so the velocity of the object constantly increases.

for objects near earth's surface, there is always another force acting on the object: the resistance due to the air. this force is opposed to the direction of fall of the object, and it is proportional to the velocity of the object, so as the object falls down, this force increases up to a point when it balances the force of gravity, and the object continues its motion at constant velocity (called terminal velocity). since in this case gravity is not the only force acting on the object, we are not in a situation of free fall.
