What fluid opposes lift?

Parasitic drag is a fluid force that opposes lift. It is caused by the friction and resistance of the air against the surface of the aircraft, slowing it down and requiring more power to maintain lift.


Is the upward force that opposes the force of gravity?

Lift is the upward force that opposes the force of gravity.


What is the force that opposes lift?

The force that opposes lift is drag. Drag is the aerodynamic force that acts opposite to the direction of motion of an object moving through a fluid (such as air). It is caused by air resistance and friction as the object moves through the air.


What fluid force of opposes lift?

The fluid force that opposes lift is drag. Drag is the force that acts opposite to the direction of an object's motion through a fluid, such as air. It acts to slow down the object's movement, including an aircraft's forward motion.


Hen you lift a box off the ground gravity opposes your lifting force?

This is true


What is the force that counter acts the weight of a airplane?

The force that counteracts the weight of an airplane is lift, which is generated by the wings as the airplane moves through the air. Lift opposes the force of gravity acting on the airplane, allowing it to remain airborne.


What is The resisting force exerted on an airplane?

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 aircraft is flying horizontally then its weight must be balanced by what force?

Lift balances weight. Thrust balances drag.


When you are in an aeroplane does lift act in the opposite direction to friction?

Lift does not act opposite to friction. Lift opposes weight and friction(air resistance) opposes thrust from the engine. This is all equally true whether or not you happen to be aboard the aircraft.


Is thrust the upward force the opposes the force of gravity?

Actually thrust is aerodynamically involved, its the driving force that accelerates the aircrafts in forward direction and the opposite force is drag. The opposing force against gravity in a flight is lift.


When a plane is flying which 2 forces must be balanced?

When a plane is flying, lift and weight must be balanced to keep the plane level and maintain altitude. Lift is generated by the wings and opposes the force of weight, which is the gravitational force acting on the plane.


What happens when a lift is decelerating vertically upwards?

When a lift is decelerating vertically upwards, the occupants will experience a sensation of weight being greater than normal as the force of deceleration opposes the force of gravity. The lift will slow down as it reaches its destination floor, allowing for a smoother transition for passengers.
