How can a plane fly using 3rd law of motion?
A plane flies using equal and opposite actions by overcoming gravity with lift and drag with thrust.
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 are the forces of a plane flying at a steady height?
Thrust, drag, lift, and weight.
What happens when thrust is greater than drag?
You move!!! * * * * * No, you accelerate!
What is the affect of thrust lift gravity and drag on a plane?
LIFT -- force provided by the wing and in perpendicular direction to the wing. In straight and level flight the lift is exactly equal to the aircraft weight. WEIGHT -- the force pulling vertically down on the airplane due to gravity. In straight and level flight this is equal to the lift. THRUST -- the force that pulls the airplane forward, provided by the propeller or jet engine. If the airplane is flying at a constant speed in level flight, this thrust is exactly equal to the drag. DRAG -- the aerodynamic force on the airplane in the opposite direction of its travel. Drag is due to skin friction, form drag (drag around wheels, struts, etc) and induced drag (produced by the wing as a side effect of lift)
What happens if thrust is greater than drag?
The car (or plane/whatever else it is) accelerates. This means that it gains speed

What effect does the forces of flight have on a plane?
Lift,Drag,Weight,Thrust.
What are the four forces that operate on a plane?
Weight, lift, drag, thrust.

How does a plane move through the air?
By overcoming gravity with lift and drag with thrust.

What are the 4 fources that keep a plane going?
Four force vectors of a plane is lift, drag, thrust, and weight.
What is the affect of thrust lift gravity and drag on a plane?
LIFT -- force provided by the wing and in perpendicular direction to the wing. In straight and level flight the lift is exactly equal to the aircraft weight. WEIGHT -- the force pulling vertically down on the airplane due to gravity. In straight and level flight this is equal to the lift. THRUST -- the force that pulls the airplane forward, provided by the propeller or jet engine. If the airplane is flying at a constant speed in level flight, this thrust is exactly equal to the drag. DRAG -- the aerodynamic force on the airplane in the opposite direction of its travel. Drag is due to skin friction, form drag (drag around wheels, struts, etc) and induced drag (produced by the wing as a side effect of lift)
What makes smaller airplanes go faster than bigger airplanes?
There are four factors that are exerted on airplanes. Thrust, Drag, Gravity and lift. Lift must be higher then gravity to make a plane go up. Thrust be be stronger then drag to make a plane go faster. As a plane becomes larger, more drag is added to the plane. This requires more thrust to maintain the same speed. So, as a plane gets larger the amount of power an engine must produce goes up drastically. Small planes with the same horsepower or thrust ratings will alays be able to go faster.
How drag and thrust can be equal?
The thrust is the force moving something forward. The drag is air resistance applying force in the other direction. Drag will increase when an object moves faster because it will hit more molecules (of air, water, whatever) per second. If you apply constant thrust (force) to an object in air (for example an airplane) it will accelerate until the drag is equal to the thrust at which point it stops accelerating but keeps going at the same speed.
