If the air is flowing more strongly behind a hang glider than in front, it will push the wing forward. This will usually result in a premature landing.

What would happen to the hang glider if the air was flowing in the opposite direction?

The hang glider would lose lift and potentially be pushed backward, making it difficult to stay airborne or control the flight. The pilot would need to adjust their positioning and flight path to compensate for the reverse airflow.


Can the velocity of object reverse direction when its acceleration is constant?

Yes, the velocity of an object can reverse direction even when its acceleration is constant. This can happen when the object is subjected to an acceleration in the opposite direction to its initial velocity, causing it to slow down and eventually reverse direction.


What will happen if two unbalanced forces are exerted in opposite direction?

If two unbalanced forces are exerted in opposite directions, the object will accelerate in the direction of the greater force. The net force will be the difference between the two forces, resulting in motion in the direction of the larger force.


What happen to object with velocity and acceleration in opposite directions?

When an object has velocity and acceleration in opposite directions, it means the object is slowing down. The acceleration is acting against the velocity, causing the object to decelerate. This situation can occur when an external force is applied in the opposite direction of the object's motion.


How do you know which direction current flows in?

We always visualize, and assume, current to be flowing from the positive terminal of the power supply or battery to the negative terminal, through the conducting path provided by everything that's connected between them. In reality, though, the thing that's doing the actual physical flowing is huge numbers of electrons, which happen to carry negative charge. So the actual physical flow is in the opposite direction.

What would happen to the hand glider if the air was flowing in the opposite direction?

Gliders rely on the air traveling over the wing span to be at a certain speed. To achieve this the Glider must travel forward. If the air, in the form of wind, is traveling in the same direction, the Glider must travel at the speed of the wind plus the normal speed of operation in order to avoid stalling. If the Glider was traveling at the speed of the wind or slower, it would fall out of the sky towards the ground. During this time the Glider would increase in speed potentially regaining control. If the air, in the form of wind, is traveling in the opposite direction, the Gliders stall point will be lower because the air flowing over the wing span will reach a certain speed much sooner.


When velocity is negative and acceleration is zero what happen the object in the motion?

It accelerates in the opposite direction. Its velocity increases in the opposite direction to the direction that has been assigned positive.

If the force of a moving an object points at least partially in the opposite direction of the objects motion?

Nothing will happen. Nothing will happen. I think.
