Paper airplane's velocity can be measured as any other object can be determined by measuring its displacement over time. In other words, time the glide and measure the distance. Then divide the distance by the elapsed time to get the average velocity of the flight.

What two factors affect the speed and distance of a paper airplane?

Friction and velocity, and if u want to go into it a little more the weight, content, and amount of force exerted to throw the paper airplane.


An airplane flying from Los Angeles to New York is traveling at a velocity of 1200 kmh east there is a tail wind with a velocity of 60 kmh east what is the resultant velocity of the airplane in Kph?

The resultant velocity is calculated by adding the velocity of the airplane to the velocity of the tailwind, as they are in the same direction. Therefore, the resultant velocity of the airplane is 1260 km/h east (1200 km/h + 60 km/h).


Where can one find a tutorial on how to build the best paper airplane?

Does a hole affect a paper airplane?

The effect of a hole on a paper airplane would depend on the type of paper airplane the hole is on, and where it is on the aircraft.


A paper airplane with mass 0.1 kg is flying 1.5 m above the ground with a speed of 2 ms. What is the total mechanical energy of the paper airplane?

The total mechanical energy of the paper airplane can be calculated as the sum of its kinetic energy (KE) and potential energy (PE). KE = 0.5 * mass * velocity^2 and PE = mass * gravity * height. Since the paper airplane is moving, it has kinetic energy. The total mechanical energy is KE + PE.


An airplane flying from New York to Los Angeles is traveling at a velocity of 1400 kph west. There is a head wind with a velocity of 20 kph east. What is the resultant velocity of the airplane in kph?

The resultant velocity is calculated by subtracting the headwind velocity from the airplane's velocity: 1400 kph (west) - 20 kph (east) = 1380 kph (west)
