Drag effects paper airplane just as it affects anything else that moves. It is either parasitic or induced on paper airplanes. Drag may reduce a paper airplanes speed and/or range.

How does a paper airplane apply Newton's 3 laws?

First law: The speed of the paper airplane remains constant unless acted upon by an external force. At launch, until thrown by someone, the airplane is at rest. In the air, drag (friction) is slowing the aircraft down.Second law: The airplane's acceleration at every instant is equal to the sum of all the forces on it divided by its mass.Third law: As the paper airplane's wings generate lift, they are subject to gravity. When thrown, the airplane has thrust, but drag is also generated.

What does a construction paper airplane do to be slow?

It falls slowly because it is light, but also because the rough, flexible paper has more drag than stiffer writing paper.


What should fly farther a small paper airplane or a bigger paper airplane with the same design?

bigger, there is more drag in proportion as it gets smaller, but other factors of strength and weight may have to be taken into account
