Lift opposes gravity and drag opposes thrust. An airplane turns using a small amount of vertical lift vectored in a horizontal direction. gravity from below, the wind currents, atmospheric pressure and weight of the plane from above.

If an airplane flies at an altitude of 8 km above the surface of the earth the force of gravity exerted on the plane is?

The force of gravity exerted on the plane is essentially the same as the force of gravity at the surface of the Earth, as gravity acts on all objects regardless of their altitude. The force of gravity decreases with altitude, but at a height of 8 km, the difference is not significant enough to affect the force exerted on the plane.


What are the forces on a airplane when it is still?

When an airplane is still on the ground, the main forces acting on it are the gravitational force acting downwards and the normal force exerted by the ground acting upwards to support the weight of the airplane. There are typically no aerodynamic forces acting on the airplane until it starts moving.

What are 4 forces acting in an airplane during flight?

The four forces that act on an airplane during flight are lift (upward force generated by the wings), weight (downward force due to gravity), thrust (forward force generated by the engines), and drag (rearward force resisting motion).


If a force is exerted to the left what direction will the reaction force be exerted?

right


How friction effect the flight of an airplane?

Friction is the force resisting the movement of an object across a surface. For an airplane there is no friction when it is flying. Instead this is referred to as air resistance which produces drag forces. There are several forces acting on the airplane at one time: Thrust, Drag, Lift, and Gravity.


How to find the friction coefficient in a given system?

To find the friction coefficient in a given system, you can use the formula: Friction coefficient Force of friction / Normal force. The force of friction is the force resisting the motion of an object, and the normal force is the force exerted perpendicular to the surface the object is on. By dividing the force of friction by the normal force, you can calculate the friction coefficient.
