What is the name of the rear wing that controls its upward and downward force on a plane?

There are two parts to it. The non-moving part is the horizontal stabilizer, and the moving part is an aileron.

An upward force on a plane is called?
'Lift' is an upward force on a plane. Upward force on a bird's wings is also called 'Lift'.
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.
What is the upward force created by a plane called?
lift
Is the upward force on a airplane wing a thrust?
No. We call the upward component of force "lift"."Thrust" is the component of force forward ... the direction the plane's nose points.
How does the direction the of the lift on a plane compare with its weight as it flies at a constant speed and altitude?
lift acts upward, and weight acts downward
How does the direction of the lift on a plane compare with its weight as it flies at a constant speed and altitude?
lift acts upward, and weight acts downward
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.
A large and a small person wish to parachute at equal terminal velocities The larger person will have to?
a)Pull upward on the supporting stands to decrease the downward net force b)Jump highly c)Get a greater parachute d)Jump first from the plane
What force acts as the centripetal force for a plane?
Basically the (powered) wings surf the air, creating a lifting force = downward force of (mass (kg) * acceleration due to gravity).
How does an aeroplane that is made of metal stay in air during flight?
The wings on a plane use the scientific law of deflected down-wash. The wings on a plane, or even a bird, are slightly angled upwards. when the propeller pulls the plane to a fast enough speed, huge gusts of wind blow against the wings. The wings force the air downward, and because of every action having an equal or opposite reaction, the plane is force upward. the same thing happens with kites.
What is the scientific definition for Ramp?
I'd say its a plane raised on one side as to make work eaisier by rolling or sliding upward or downward, but thats just my two sense
What is a two-sided inclinded plane used to separate a simple machine that converts downward input force into sideways output force?
That sounds like a 'wedge', like a chisel.
