For an airplane to fly, it must always engage in a tug of war between the opposing forces of lift versus weight and thrust versus drag.

Can outward force that makes objects moving on acircle fly out is antrifugalforce?

Outward force that makes objects move in a circle, then make them fly out of the circle is centrifical force. If you think in terms of a centrifuge, it spins so fast that the force could push the items out if they were not held down.


How does a Inclined plane affect force?

An inclined plane reduces the amount of force needed to lift an object by allowing the force to be spread out over a longer distance. This makes it easier to move objects up or down the plane using less force than lifting straight up.

What force makes it difficult for an airplane to gain altitude fly upward?

These forces are called drag and gravity. Gravity is the downward force on the plane, keeping it from flying, but if the lift, the opposing force, is strong enough, you will achieve flight. Drag is the force pulling you back, making it harder to go forward. This force is produced by air pressure on the front of the plane. The opposing force in this case is thrust, which makes the plane move forward.
