Is the upward force that opposes the force of gravity?
Lift is the upward force that opposes the force of gravity.
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 is a force that acts in an upward direction that opposes the downward force of an object?
The force that opposes a downward force on an object would be called the "normal force". For example, it is as a result of the normal force that people do not fall though the ground the same way that they fall through the air.
What is the direction of the buoyant force?
If you're talking about something in say a tank of water, the buoyant force points up and opposes the downward force of gravity......
To keep a sled accelerating downhill what must the force of gravity be greater than?
The force of gravity must be greater than the normal force.
Is the upward force that opposes the force of gravity?
Lift is the upward force that opposes the force of gravity.
The force of gravity opposes what other force?
The force of gravity opposes acceleration away from the source of the gravity. This is expressed as "centrifugal force" or the perpendicular component of a tangential velocity. The balance between these keeps the planets in orbit around the Sun.
Which force opposes gravity?
Any force with an upward vertical component does.
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.
Force that opposes motion of surface as it moves across another surface?
the force that opposes the motion of two touching surfaces is velocity.
What force opposes nuclear fusion in the sun?
Gravity pushes in, fusion pushes out.
What is a force that acts in an upward direction that opposes the downward force of an object?
The force that opposes a downward force on an object would be called the "normal force". For example, it is as a result of the normal force that people do not fall though the ground the same way that they fall through the air.
When you lift a box off the ground gravity opposes your lifting force?
It's because you can't create a force with your muscles that exceeds the forces of gravity attracting the box and the Earth toward each other.
What force opposes gravity when a leaf falls?
Friction and the molecules slowing down the leaf.
Hen you lift a box off the ground gravity opposes your lifting force?
This is true
Is thrust the upward force the opposes the force of gravity?
Actually thrust is aerodynamically involved, its the driving force that accelerates the aircrafts in forward direction and the opposite force is drag. The opposing force against gravity in a flight is lift.
What force opposes gravity and slows down an object falling through the air?
drag force (frictional force exerted by air) or air reststance
