There are five main forces that act upon a plane. The first force is gravity, a force acting toward the earth and hence downwards. The second force is thrust, a force that is generated by an engine of sorts and acts perpendicular to the force of gravity or straight. The third force is drag which is caused when there is an object that poses an obstruction to direct wind flow. Nothing on earth posses zero drag force. This force acts in the direction opposing thrust. The fourth force acting upon a plane is pitch. This is the angle of elevation of the plane on a complete 180 degrees scale. The ailerons control this force. The final force on a plane is controlled by the rear rudder and is termed as yaw. This force is often confused with the turn axel but is nothing related. This force is the force conrolling the right-left direction of the nose of the plane. Thanks for reading my answer - Rohan Sharma XB 2008 TISB School

Define coplanar forces?

Coplanar forces systems have all the forces acting in one plane. It also means that all forces act within a single plane instead of three dimensions.


What is the relationship between rolled distance and time taken?

How many different types of forces are there?

If you are referring to the fundamental forces of nature; there are four, being: -Electromagnetism; this is the force responsible for all things involving magnets and electricity. -Gravity; this is the force that causes objects with mass (more correctly energy) to attract each other. It causes things to fall down and is probably the force most people are most familiar with. The last two forces are not generally known because their influences usually are only felt in the world of small things such as atoms, and their influences are only rarely seen in the every day world. -Weak nuclear force; this force governs certain interactions of sub-atomic particles and in particular it is responsible for radioactive decay. -Strong nuclear force; this force works on only a few types of particles; particles which have a color charge. It is, for example, responsible for binding the protons and neutrons together inside an atomic nucleus. Without this force the nucleus would be pushed apart because the protons repel each other electromagnetically.

What vibrates in a triangle?

To make it simple.... If u are placing a triangle on a paper, the forces acting on a triangle from your left to right or right to light, along the plane of paper cannot move it, but .. when it is moved towards u or away, it can be moved or shifted from plane to plane.. so triangle vibration depends on the forces u apply in the particular direction...


If balanced forces are acting on an object it will seem as if a net force is acting on the object?

If the forces are balanced this means that there is no net force acting

Is it possible for an object to not be in motion and still have forces acting on it?

Yes, the object can have equal forces acting in opposite directions: 5N ->[]<- 5N The object will have forces acting upon it, but will not move.


A car is driven up a hill at a constant speed Discuss all the forces acting on the car What pushes it up in the hill?

The forces acting on the car include: 1) Weight (mass x gravity) of the car. 2) Normal force between the inclined plane at each tire (perpendicular to the inclined plane). 3) Force of static (rolling) friction acting between the tires and the inclined plane (parallel to the plane and acting against the direction of rotation of the tires). 4) Force exerted by the car on the plane (parallel and opposing friction on the inclined plane). 5) Drag force depending on air resistance and velocity of the car. The car is allowed to climb the hill because of the static friction opposing the force it is exerting. Without this friction, it would not be able to climb the hill.
