What effect does resistance have on the acceleration of aircraft?

Resistance, or drag, acts opposite to the direction of motion and reduces the acceleration of aircraft. High resistance can slow down an aircraft and make it harder to increase speed or maintain acceleration. Pilots account for resistance when planning maneuvers and adjusting engine power to overcome drag.


What describes that an object is slowing down?

When an object is slowing down, it means that its velocity is decreasing over time. This can be observed by a decrease in the speed or magnitude of the object's movement. Factors such as friction, air resistance, or gravitational pull can cause an object to slow down.


What is used to slow down an aircraft?

If the aircraft is coming into land then the hinged part of the wing called Flaps are lowered to increase the amount of Drag over the wings. If you think of drag as an air-born form of braking then Flaps down means the aircraft the aircraft slows but increases the maneuverability the pilot has over the aircraft. If the aircraft is on the ground then wheel brakes are very useful


Can resistance speed up moving objects as well as slowing them down?

Resistance can slow down moving objects by opposing their motion, but it cannot speed them up. When an object encounters resistance, such as air resistance or friction, it must overcome these forces to maintain its speed or acceleration. The resistance acts as a hindrance that requires additional force or energy to counteract.


When you deploy your parachute do you go up or just slow down?

When you deploy your parachute, you do not go up; you simply slow down due to air resistance and drag. The parachute increases your air resistance by capturing air in its canopy, which slows your descent speed until you reach a safe landing speed.

How can you slow a plane down?

there are a couple of ways to slow a plane down. the first is to throttle down, this will help decrease speed. the second is pitch, if you increase the pitch, or raise the nose, you can decrease speed too. most aircraft have a pitch control wheel that raises or lowers the pitch (Nose) of the aircraft. By raising the pitch alittle and throttling down, you will slow the aircraft down really quick.

What is friction and what effects does it have on motion?

Friction is the sum of resistance to motion and as for resistance, it slow down the motion.
