Best Answer

The forces acting on a flying ball are:

1. The frictional force exerted by air on the motion of the ball.
2. The gravitational force of the earth, of course.

What are the four forces that act on an aircraft in flight?

LiftGravityThrustDragLift is the lifting force that allows airplanes to fly, gravity is the force pulling it back down.Thrust is the force that propels an airplane forward, drag is the aerodynamic friction slowing it down.These variables are constantly interacting with eachother, when an airplane is in straight and level flight, these forces are said to be in balance.


Two forces one 500 gf and the other 800gf act upon a body what are the maximum and minimum possible values of the resultant force?

If the act together (in the same direction), the resultant force is the sum - 1300 gf (whatever that abbreviation means!). This is the maximum. If they act in opposite directions, the resultant force is the difference, 300 gf - and this is the minimum.
