It falls slowly because it is light, but also because the rough, flexible paper has more drag than stiffer writing paper.

What paper airplane goes farther notebook paper construction paper copy paper?

The type of paper used for a paper airplane can significantly impact its flight distance. Generally, copy paper is the best choice as it is lightweight yet sturdy, allowing for longer flights compared to notebook or construction paper. Copy paper has a smoother surface and consistent thickness, reducing air resistance and providing better aerodynamics for the paper airplane to glide farther.

How many grams can a paper airplane hold?

A little bit less than a train made out of paper, but way more than a boat made out of paper. Of course, the size of the airplane wasn't stated in the question. If it was a really, really BIG paper airplane, it could weigh more than a teeny-tiny paper train. Although, if it was a tiny paper airplane it could weigh less than a HUGE paper boat. I'm pretty sure it would also depend on what kind of paper you use. A construction paper airplane would definitely weigh more than a tissue paper airplane. But one of those airplanes made out of copier paper would weigh about average. I wouldn't reccommend a toilet paper airplane. It would also depend on what kind of plane you were making out of paper. A 747 made out of tar paper is going to completely outweigh a Cessna made out of freezer paper. All in all, I would have to say a medium sized airplane made out of a mid-gauge paper would weigh in at around 3,982 kilograms.


How does acceleration effect a papper air plain?

Acceleration affects a paper airplane by determining how quickly it gains speed or changes direction. Increasing acceleration can help the paper airplane fly farther or perform aerobatic maneuvers, while decreasing acceleration may cause the paper airplane to slow down or lose altitude. Balanced acceleration is key for optimal flight performance.
