Since Ek = 1/2 mv2 , That means that mass, velocity and the kinetic energy is directly proportional. So, if the mass and the velocity of the glider is increased so will be its Kinetic Energy of motion.
I thought a toy glider did not have any propulsion. Toy airplanes can have an elastic drive, and when this is wound up prior to a flight the drive has potential energy
Kinetic because it is actually moving as well as "potential" energy because it is up in the air and technically falling due to gravity. As it "falls", the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. At the point in time when the glider lands, all of the potential energy has now been converted to kinetic energy.
No. A glider that is moving at a constant speed and in a constant direction is at a constant velocity. In other words it is not accelerating. Therefore, all forces on it must be balanced.
The native predators of the squirrel glider are owls, kookaburras and snakes. Quolls also prey on squirrel gliders. Since the time European settlement began in Australia, enemies of the squirrel glider have increased to include instroduced foxes, cats and dogs. People are a threat as they cut down the gliders' habitat.
It depends if it is a model glider or a manned glider.
No: There are actually six different species of glider found in Australia. They include:Yellow-bellied Glider - Petaurus australisSugar Glider - Petaurus brevicepsSquirrel Glider - Petaurus phalangerGreater Glider - Petaurioides volansFeathertail Glider - Acrobates pygmaeusMahogany Glider - Petaurus gracilis
The gliding marsupials are the gliders, and they are all members of the possum family. There are six different species of glider found in Australia.

A glider or hang-glider
How is the yawing in a glider detected?
The first glider was invented in 1891.
