How does the path of the crate appear to somebody on the airplane and to someone on the ground when a crate is dropped from an airplane flying horizontally at constant speed?

To someone on the airplane, the crate would appear to fall straight down due to its initial horizontal velocity matching the airplane's speed. To someone on the ground, the crate would follow a parabolic path because of gravity acting on it vertically while it moves horizontally due to its initial velocity.


How do thrust and lift help an airplane archive flight?

Without thrust, the airplane would never move forward, and without lift, it would never get off the ground. It would seem therefore, that these forces are absolutely essential to the realization of the entire notion of "airplane", since without them, it would be absurd for the pathetic craft to attempt to lay claim to the title.


Why cant you float in the air?

You can't float in the air because of the force of gravity pulling you down towards the Earth. In order to float, you would need an upward force (like buoyancy in water or lift in an airplane) to counteract the pull of gravity. Without such a force, you will always fall towards the Earth.


Do you float in space?

No, you do not float in space. In space, there is no gravity to pull you down, so you would float freely.


What force or forces would be acting upon a falling airplane?

The main forces acting on a falling airplane are gravity, which pulls it downward towards the ground, and air resistance, which opposes its motion and can slow it down. Depending on the situation, other forces such as wind or turbulence may also affect the airplane's fall.

What does 0 gravity feel like?

It feels like you are weightless, and you can float in the air like you float on water. Houses and other structures would float, too, and you would not be able to live --- or build --- a house that easily. If there was no gravity, things would not stay on the ground, so we need gravity to make sure we do not float to the atmosphere.

Can you put the word parachute in a sentence?

The man jumped out of a plane using a parachute so he would fall safely to the ground. We used a parachute so we could land safely on ground.


An air traffic controller estimates the angle of elevation from the control tower to an approaching airplane as 29°. The ground distance from the tower to the airplane is 4 miles?

Missing information. If you drew a right triangle with the airplane at the top of the short side, the base would be the 4 miles on the ground. That angle would be the 29 degree angle. So what are you looking for?


If an ant fell from an airplane in the sky would it die from impact to the ground?

Probably not , an ant lacks mass .

Are we submerged in air or are we floating in air?

To float in air is to leave the ground. As the atmosphere stretches from the ground to the edge of space, I would say we were submerged in air.


Why do you want to join ground staff?

This would be a question asked of a possible employee who is applying to be on the ground team at an airport. A ground team is made up of the people who load the luggage onto the airplane


Why do small animals without skeletons live in water?

Beacuse on land they could easlily be hurt and their only way to get around is to float. it would not be albe to walk or float on the ground, would it? It was just adapted to the water.


Can a child board an airplane without a parent or guardian?

Yes, they would need to be joined to the unaccompanied minor group and the airport staff in both the takeoff airport and the destination airport would get them there safely.


What principle governs the take off of a flight?

For an airplane taking off I believe that would be a combination of Bernoulli's principle and ground effect.
