Gravity does affect birds and airplanes the same as it does to any object. But these objects are using their wings or engines to exert an stronger force than the one gravity is exerting on them.

g = 9.81 m/s2 = 32.2 ft/s2

This means that, ignoring air resistance, an object falling freely near the Earth's surface increases its velocity by 9.81 m/s (32.2 ft/s or 22 mph) for each second of its descent. Thus, an object starting from rest will attain a velocity of 9.81 m/s (32.2 ft/s) after one second, 19.6 m/s (64.4 ft/s) after two seconds, and so on, adding 9.81 m/s (32.2 ft/s) to each resulting velocity. Also, again ignoring air resistance, any and all objects, when dropped from the same height, will hit the ground at the same time.

Why it is that gravity doesnot push a bird or an aeroplane back to earth?

It sure tries to, but the bird and the aeroplane can sort of brace themselves against the air hard enough to generate a lifting force that's stronger than the pull of gravity and remain airborne.

What forces act on a bird as it dives?

As a bird dives, gravity and aerodynamic forces act on it. Gravity accelerates the bird towards the ground while aerodynamic forces, such as lift and drag, are influenced by the bird's wing shape and speed, helping control its descent and maneuverability.


What is the nature of a graph of a bird flying against gravity?

The graph of a bird flying against gravity would likely show a decrease in altitude over time as the bird ascends. The graph would have a negative slope indicating the bird is flying upward against the force of gravity.

When a bird lets go of a branch and drops to the ground below why doesnt the moving Earth sweep away from the dropping bird?

The bird and the Earth are both moving together as part of the Earth's rotation. The atmosphere also moves with the Earth, so there is no relative movement between the bird and the ground when the bird lets go of the branch.
