In general (special exceptions may apply) increase speed = increase drag.

The Force of an airplane that opposes thrust is called?

The force of an airplane that opposes thrust is called drag. Drag is the resistance force that acts opposite to the direction of motion of the aircraft and is caused by the interaction of the aircraft with the surrounding air.


The resisting force exerted on an airplane is called?

drag


What Is Drag On An Airplane?

the force created by air resistance


What force must be created by an airplane in order to overcome drag?

The thrust force produced by the airplane's engines must be greater than the drag force acting against it in order to overcome drag and maintain forward motion. This allows the airplane to continue moving through the air and generate lift to stay aloft.


What does an airplane use in movement?

It will use its engine power to increase thrust and to decrease drag.


Why is it easier for a plane to accelerate when taking off?

Because the force opposing the forward acceleration of the aircraft is drag, and drag is proportional to the square of the relative velocity. So when the airplane is accelerating from standing still, at first there is almost no drag force to oppose the acceleration. As the airplane increases its speed, however, the drag force increases rapidly. In steady flight, the drag force is exactly equal to the force being produced by the propeller.


What is drag for an airplane?

Drag is a force that acts opposite to the direction of movement of an airplane. Drag is mainly caused by air. The other forces that act on the plane while moving in the air are thrust, lift etc..


What are the four force acting on a airplane?

lift, thrust, drag and weight(gravity)


When an object is speeding up through the air are the forces of thrust and drag balanced?

No. This is because the object is speeding up, therefore more force must be acting on one side than on the other. However, if the object was moving at a constant speed or was stationary, then the forces would be balanced.


Which force on an airplane can also be called a resistance force?

Gravity is the main resistance force on any aircraft. Wind resistance would be second.


What is the force that slows down an airplane?

The force that slows down an airplane is drag, which is caused by air resistance as the plane moves through the air. Drag is created by the friction between the air and the airplane's surfaces, such as the wings and fuselage. Pilots can control the amount of drag by adjusting the aircraft's speed, configuration, and flight path.


How does parachute at the back of the car helps a speeding car to slow down and stop quickly?

When the parachute is deployed at the back of the car, it creates drag force by catching air. This drag force acts in the opposite direction of the car's motion, slowing it down. By increasing the drag force, the parachute helps the speeding car slow down and stop more quickly.
