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
What action and reaction forces are presented when you are sitting on a chair?
Your weight exerts a downward force, while the chair exerts an upward force equal in magnitude to your weight.
What is the buoyant force on the object theat weighs 20n and it displayes a volume of water that weighs 15n?
The buoyant force is the weight of the displaced water. That's 15n, and it points upward. That upward force combines with the downward 20n due to gravity. The net force on the object is 5n downward.
How do you calculate upward force to keep an object in the air?
Basically, the upward force has to counteract the downward force of gravity. Thus, the upward force has to be equal to the object's weight. There is not much calculation to do here; just use the standard formula for weight: weight = mass x gravity Under normal Earth gravity, you can use 9.8 for gravity; thus, every kilogram has a weight of about 9.8 newton, and therefore requires an upward force of 9.8 newtons to keep it in balance.
On a perfect fall day you are hovering at low altitude in a hot-air balloon accelerated neither upward nor downward The total weight of the balloon is 17500?

A weight reading on a scale shows the upward force exerted by the scale?
Scales are intended to measure some downward force acting on the scale, which is the weight of the object placed on the scale to be weighed, but it is also true that the downward force is necessarily balanced by an equal and opposite upward force, otherwise the scale would be forced downward (which would be very awkward since it would break through the floor and create quite a mess).

What force or forces are acting on the crate?
The weight of the crate is acting downward on the ground and the ground is exerting a force equal to the weight of the crate upward on the crate.
What action and reaction forces are presented when you are sitting on a chair?
Your weight exerts a downward force, while the chair exerts an upward force equal in magnitude to your weight.
A crate is at rest on the ground what force or forces are acting on the crate?
The weight of the crate is acting downward on the ground and the ground is exerting a force equal to the weight of the crate upward on the crate.

If the action force is the downward push of his weight on the chair what is the reaction force?
In the opposite direction, and on the other object. In this case, the chair pushes upward against the person.
What is the upward force on a moving object with a lift at a rate of 17m per s?
If the object is moving at a constant speed, the net force on it is 0. So the upward force would have to be equal to the downward force (namely the weight of the object).
On a perfect fall day you are hovering at low altitude in a hot-air balloon accelerated neither upward nor downward The total weight of the balloon is 17500?

The 4 main forces of flight are: drag, thrust, lift and weight
