A plane flies forwards by exerting a force on the air with its wings. the air pushes back on those wings with an equal force that propels the bird forwards

Why does it look like a plane is not moving in the air?

It may seem like a plane is not moving because of its distance from the observer, the angle at which it is viewed, or the lack of reference points in the sky. Additionally, the perception of speed can be influenced by factors such as cloud cover or the plane's altitude.


Give an example of fluid friction?

A plane moving through air. Air is causing friction, A boat moving through water .Water causes friction.


Is the air that travels under the plane's wing is moving faster?

No. The air that travels over the wing moves faster.


What is the force you exert on an airplane as it is flying in the air?

Weight. Also, the moving air around the plane causes friction


How does a jet plane move in the air?

the same ways as any other plane, by moving at a high speed to create lift under its wings


What is the frame reference for a plane moving at 500kmh?

The frame of reference for a plane moving at 500 km/h can be either the ground or the surrounding air. In both cases, the speed of the plane relative to these frames of reference would be 500 km/h.


Is a plane moving kinetic energy?

kinetic energy is motion energy, therefore any object that is moving possesses kinetic energy.

How does air movement improve air?

When humans perspire, the water evaporates, cooling the skin. Moving air increases the evaporative effect, making it seem cooler.


What is the frame of reference for a plane moving at 500 km h?

The frame of reference for a plane moving at 500 km/h could be relative to the ground or the air. The ground frame of reference would consider the plane's speed relative to the Earth's surface. The air frame of reference would consider the plane's speed relative to the surrounding air.

Can airplanes take off with the wind?

Depends on how strong the wind is, how long the runway is, how heavily loaded the plane is etc - but generally, yes.What gets a regular airplane off the ground is how fast it's moving through the air. If the air is moving with the plane - as in a tailwind - it takes longer/more runway for the plane to reach the airspeed needed to fly.
