"Air Force One" is not a specific plane, it's the call sign for any Air Force plane used to transport the President of the United States. Usually it's only AF1 when the President is actually on it (to understand this, think about commercial aviation ... "Uniform Alfa 71" is not a specific plane, it's whatever equipment happens to be flying United Airlines' route 71 at the time). The planes themselves have their own specific designations. When Richard Nixon resigned, he boarded Air Force 1 for California. It was somewhere over Missouri when Gerald Ford officially became president, and the aircraft's call sign changed in-flight from "Air Force 1" to "SAM (Special Air Mission) 27000".
There are actually two specially fitted jumbo jets commonly used as AF1. Both are Boeing VC-25s, a military version of the 747-200B. The planes are labelled with tail numbers 28000 and 29000 and are referred to as SAM 28000 and SAM 29000 when not actually transporting the President.
The presidential helicopter is flown by a Marine Corps pilot rather than an Air Force pilot and is designated Marine One. Again, any of several helicopters could be used, usually either a VH-3D "Sea King" or a VH-60N "WhiteHawk". The VH-3D is a specially fitted version of the Sikorsky SH-3 and the VH-60N is a member of the Sikorsky S-70 ("Black Hawk") family.

How would joining the armed services affect your participation in the civilian labor force?
You would have no participation in the civilian labor force because it specifically excludes members of the armed forces.
Are points imaginary or real?
there on a whole different plane. your x axis is labeled real not x and your y axis is labeled imaginary not y. then just plot the points like you normally would.
What is the net force acting on a plane?
Zero - otherwise it would fall out of the sky.
If the effort distance is increased by an inclined plane will the effort force decrease?
actually, the effort force would be decreasing, and the effort distance would be increasing!
What is the force applied up or down an object?
Vertical Force? Perhaps abbreviated Fv. If the plane on which it rests is horizontal, then it would be the Normal Force abbreviated Fn.
How would the amount of force that is needed to put the load up the inclined plane be reduced?
Reduce the friction
What airplane weighs one ton?
air force one that would be a light plane like a cessna or piper
Why did the vietcong dress like civilians?
The Viet Cong were guerrilla forces. They were not a conventional military force like the North Vietnamese Army, therefore they wore civilian clothing. Plus, civilian clothing added an advantage as American and ARVN forces would not recognize them as combatants. The Viet Cong were guerrilla forces.

Who needs a bigger force to keep them moving a man or a child?
It depends. If you want to lift them up, you have to act a force equal to their weight, so a heavier person would need a force with greater magnitude. If you want to move them horizontally on a plane with friction the heavier person needs a force with greater magnitude again. On a plane without friction no force needs to be acting on them in order to move.
What part of the earth is labeled A?
There are many different parts of the Earth that would be labeled with the letter A. Africa might be labeled with an A for example.
An air mass originating in the Pacific Ocean near the equator would be labeled?
It would be labeled "Maritime Tropical".
Which force can make your body raise out of your seat on a hill?
Negative Gravity. The opposite of which would be Gravitational Force(G Force) which you most often associate with fighter pilots,which would press you down into your seat. Another example of Negative Gravity would be if you have seen video of people floating around inside of an airplane.This is done by the plane diving downward at a speed which is equal to or slightly faster than the speed that the people would fall if they were outside of the plane falling through the air.This effectively neutralizes the effect of gravity on the people as long as the plane dives at that speed.
