All over it. Gravity attracts every molecule in the Universe to every other molecule. When you leave your seat and walk to the rest room while in a plane, it is gravity that holds you down to the floor. As a simplifying approximation, engineers often treat gravity as applying a force on the center of mass of an object.

What will happen to a plane if there was no wind and gravity?

It would float away into space and implode.


What would happen if you were on a plane and had no weight to you?

If you were on a plane and had no weight to you you would float in the plane like there was no gravity, even though there is but if the plane was angled precisely you can float in the plane as if gravity was turned off. But this only lasts a few minutes as you come closer to land.


What does the pull of gravity equal to of a plane?

If a plane is in level flight, gravity (weight) is equal to lift.


Is gravity on hill less than on plane?

Gravity on a plane is less then on a hill because you are away from the earth, However gravity in a plane over a hill is more then gravity on a plane over a valley at the same altitude above sea level.


Where does the net force happen on a plane?

If you were going to treat all of the forces acting on a plane at a specific point that point would be the CG (Center of Gravity), which is usually measured in inches aft of the datum (a non-physical point used by engineers to define the center of gravity).


What direction does gravity act on a plane?

Gravity acts downward relative to the position of the plane. This means that gravity points towards the center of the Earth, pulling the plane and everything on it towards the ground.


What makes a plane ascend and what makes a plane descend?

lift.... Gravity


Gravity is an example of what?

an example of gravity is sky diving. the gravity is pulling down the the ground after you jump out of the plane.


What are the forces acting on an inclined plane?

The forces acting on an inclined plane are gravity, which pulls objects downward, and the normal force, which is perpendicular to the surface of the plane and counteracts the force of gravity. Friction may also be present, depending on the surface of the inclined plane.


What helps a plane to land?
