Why doesn't air resistance and gravity pull an aircraft down?
Air resistance is not a downward force; it acts in the opposite direction of an object's travel. When a plane is in flight the forward force provided by the engines works against the backwards force of air resistance. If the engines are turned off the plane will begin to slow down. As a plane moves foreward the air moving over its wings creates an upward force called lift, which works against the pull of gravity.
What is the upward force that works against gravity?
Any upward force works against gravity,since they act in opposite directions.
What is the force that keeps an object moving on a curved path that is directed inward toward the center of rotation?
Centripetal force works opposite tangential acceleration.
In what way does friction always act?
And it not only DOES; it works in no other way. Friction is a sneaky thing. You know how a thermos "knows" to keep the hot stuff hot and the cold stuff cold? Well, friction always knows in which direction you're trying to go and pushes against you!
What is the force that works against buoyancy?
Buoyant force works against the force of pulling.
A force that works in the opposite direction of travel?
Thrust.
A4 letter word that describes force that works in the opposite direction than travel?
Drag
Adding a force acting in one direction to a force acting in the opposite direction is the same as adding what?
A negative force. Since the force added in the opposite direction works against the original force, you would subtract the added force from the original force. Since subtracting a positive is the same thing as adding a negative, this force would be considered negative to the positive direction.
Adding a force acting in one direction to a force acting in the opposite dierection is the same as adding what?
A negative force. Since the force added in the opposite direction works against the original force, you would subtract the added force from the original force. Since subtracting a positive is the same thing as adding a negative, this force would be considered negative to the positive direction.
What enzyme works in the opposite direction of carboxypeptidase?
Aminopeptidase
What do you call the force that works against the direction of a given force?
Reaction

How is it possible to be moving in one direction even though the unbalanced force is in the opposite direction?
Perhaps you are thinking that the velocity should be proportional to the force, or something like that. That's not the way it works. It is the acceleration, not the velocity, that is proportional to the force, but it may take a while to change the velocity. If an object is moving in one direction and there is a force in the opposite direction, it may simply take a while for the velocity to change enough, so that it also moves in the direction of the force. For example, if you throw an object upwards, once you let it go, basically the only force acting on the object is gravity - which basically pulls it downward. Depending on the object's speed, it may take a while for the object to "turn around".

Any upward force works against gravity,since they act in opposite directions.
How the direction of the force of kinetic friction is related to the direction of an object's motion?
Friction force works against the motion of the object. In other words friction force has the opponent direction of the velocity of the object.
Is running an example of a force moving an object?
Running only works different muscles in the body and is not considered a force. The only time it can be considered a force is when the shoe pushes backwards on the surface of the earth. The earth moves minutely in the opposite direction that it is not noticably moved.
