If weight and lift aren't equal, then there's a net vertical force on the plane,

and it must have vertical acceleration.

What is the gravitational potential energy of an object is equal to its weight multiplied by its?

The gravitational potential energy is equal to: GPE = mass x gravity x height Or equivalently: GPE = weight x height


If drag and thrust are equal a flying device will stop?

If drag and thrust are equal, a flying device will stop ACCELERATING, that is it will maintain a constant speed.From classical Newtonian physics:Force = mass x accelerationSince drag and thrust are forces, we have:Thrust - drag = mass x accelerationSince you say that drag and thrust are equal, and the mass of a flying object is some finite value, it turns out that the acceleration = 0, i.e. a constant speed


What is correlation of body weight to body height?

The density of one's bone frame also contributes to body weight as well as height.


Are you agree that your weight is equivalent to the friction force. Why?

No. On a horizontal surface the normal force is equal to weight. If you are moving at constant velocity you only overcome frictional force, which is not equal to weight. This is easier to see on an incline. At some point an object will slide at constant velocity down the incline. This is related to trig functions of the angle of incline multiplied by the weight which is always less than the weight.


5foot4 and weight 9 stone are you over weight?

One stone is equal to 14 pounds. 14 times 9 equals 126. That is an average weight for that height.


How much do I weight?

mass times the acceleration due to gravity


What is the constant equal to the ratio of the gas constant to the avogadro constant?

Boltzmanns constant


What affected by gravity the weight or the mass?

The mass is basically NOT affected by gravity. The weight IS affected, and it is equal to mass x gravity.


What is the similarity between constant speed and acceleration?

If the speed is constant then equal distances are covered in equal intervals of time If acceleration is constant then equal change in velocity occurs in equal intervals of time.


What is a -3 baseball bat?

A -3 Bat is a bat where the weight is equal to the height minus 3 So if you had a 34 inch bat, the weight would be 31 oz.


Would a plane weigh more on the ground or in the air?

Technically, it would weigh the same as long as gravity is constant and mass is constant. Weight is equal to mass times gravity W=mg


When are the 4 forces of flight equal?

The plane will fly at steady height and speed :)
