How does the direction the of the lift on a plane compare with its weight as it flies at a constant speed and altitude?
lift acts upward, and weight acts downward

How does the direction of the lift on a plane compare with its weight as it flies at a constant speed and altitude?
The lift force on a plane is equal to its weight when it is flying at a constant speed and altitude. This balance is necessary for the plane to maintain level flight. If the lift force becomes greater than the weight, the plane will climb; if the lift force becomes less than the weight, the plane will descend.
Does the weight of an apple increase decrease or remain constant when taken to the top of mountain?
the weight will decrease
Weight change with Altitude or elevation?
Weight does not change with altitude or elevation. Your weight is determined by the gravitational force acting on your body, which remains constant regardless of altitude. However, your perceived weight may change due to variations in atmospheric pressure and gravitational pull at different altitudes.
What is the work done by the weight if a body is moving at constant speed over a firctionless surface?
If a body is moving at constant speed over a frictionless surface, the work done by the weight of the body is zero. This is because the weight force acts in the downward direction, perpendicular to the direction of motion, so there is no displacement in the direction of the weight force for work to be done.
Does altitude affect weight?
Yes, weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object, which is constant regardless of altitude. However, an object may weigh slightly less at higher altitudes due to the decrease in gravitational pull towards the center of the Earth.
Does the mass of an object change with location or altitude above the Earth's surface?
No it does not. Its weight, however, does.
How does the normal force on you compare to your weight when you stand on a floor?
When you stand on a floor, the normal force acting on you is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to your weight.
When are the 4 forces of flight equal?
The plane will fly at steady height and speed :)
What two forces must be equal for a plane to stay at the same altitude?
For a plane to stay at the same altitude, lift force from the wings must be equal to the weight of the plane. Lift force is generated by the wings due to the flow of air over them, while weight is the force acting downwards due to gravity. When these two forces are equal, the plane remains at a constant altitude.
What are the three situations for changing velocity?
The three situations for changing velocity are speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction.
If I am in an elevator that is traveling upward at constant speed How does weight compare to your normal weight on the ground?
If the elevator's speed is constant (acceleration is zero), regardless of whether it's up or down,then your weight in it is the same as your normal weight on the ground.It should be easy to carry a bathroom scale onto an elevator with you some day and check it out.
When you stand at the rest on a bathroom scale how does your weight compare with the support force by the scale?
The support force of your scale is the same as your weight, but in an upward direction. If that were not so, the scale would be deformed (dented in) under your weight.
