What does lift do to the airplane?
Lift acts against the force of gravity, pushing the aircraft up.
What are The four forces acting on an airplane in flight are?
Thrust (forward), Gravity (down), Drag (back), Lift (up)
What are the two forces acted upon the airplane when in flight?
the two forces acted upon the airplane when in flight is Lift/Gravity and Thrust/Drag(:
What fluid opposes lift?
Compressible fluid force opposes lift. Lift is the upward force due to the fluid flow around an airplane wing. Weight is a downward force caused by gravity which opposes lift.
What are the four forces acting on an airplane?
Lift Gravity Thrust Drag Lift is the lifting force that allows airplanes to fly, gravity is the force pulling it back down. Thrust is the force that propels an airplane forward, drag is the aerodynamic friction slowing it down. These variables are constantly interacting with eachother, when an airplane is in straight and level flight, these forces are said to be in balance.
What does lift do to the airplane?
Lift acts against the force of gravity, pushing the aircraft up.
What are the 4 forces on an airplane?
Lift, Gravity, thrust and drag
What if lift is not equal but is greater than gravity while flying straight?
If the lift is greater than gravity then the airplane gains altitude.
What is the definition for an airplane?
Airplane is a mechanical structure that has the ability to overcome the gravity and lift off, with the assist of an engine
What are The four forces acting on an airplane in flight are?
Thrust (forward), Gravity (down), Drag (back), Lift (up)
How come an airplane floats in air?
Essentially there are 4 aerodynamic forces that act on an airplane in flight; these are lift, drag, thrust and gravity (or weight).In simple terms, drag is the resistance of air (the backward force), thrust is the power of the airplane's engine (the forward force), lift is the upward force and gravity is the downward force. So for airplanes to fly, the thrust must be greater than the drag and the lift must be greater than the gravity (so as you can see, drag opposes thrust and lift opposes gravity).This is certainly the case when an airplane takes off or climbs. However, when it is in straight and level flight the opposing forces of lift and gravity are balanced. During a descent, gravity exceeds lift and to slow an airplane drag has to overcome thrust.
What are the four force acting on a airplane?
lift, thrust, drag and weight(gravity)
What four things make an airplane fly?
Thrust, lift, gravity, and drag
What are the 4 forces that let an airplane fly?
The 4 forces that let a airplane fly are Lift, Gravity, Thrust, and Drag.
What are physics concepts in an airplane?
At the lowest level : lift counters gravity power counters friction.
How high can an airplane go?
as high as the lift from the wings is greater than the gravity pulling it down
Why does an airplane need more lift then weight?
Obviously so it can overcome gravity and take off.
