The net force acting on the airplane is 25N.

Forces acting on the paper airplane when it is in the air:

  • The forward force generated by the engine, propeller, or rotor is called thrust. It resists or defeats the drag force. It operates generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. However, as will be discussed later, this is not always the case.
  • Drag is an airflow disruption generated by the wing, rotor, fuselage, and other projecting surfaces that causes a backward, decelerating force. Drag acts backward and perpendicular to the relative wind, opposing thrust.
  • Weight is the total load carried by airplane, including the weight of the crew, fuel, and any cargo or baggage. Due to the influence of gravity, weight pulls the airplane downward.
  • Lift—acts perpendicular to the flight path through the center of lift and opposes the weight's downward force. It is produced by the air's dynamic influence on the airfoil.

Given.

Weight of the paper airplane, F1 = 16N

The force of air resistance, F2 = 9N

Net force = F1 + F2

Net force = 25N

Thus, the net force acting on the airplane is 25N.

A child with a weight of 230 N swings on a playground swing attached to 1.90 m long chains. What is the gravitational potential
nlexa [21]

Answer:

437 J

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Weight of child, W = 230 N

Height of swing, h = 1.9 m

Gravitational Potential Energy is given as:

P. E. = m*g*h = W*h

m = mass

h = height above the ground

W = weight

P. E. = 230 * 1.9

P. E. = 437 J

When an object moves, stops moving, changes speed, or changes direction, how do scientists describe that condition?
lorasvet [3.4K]
Drop "moves" from the list for a moment.

You can also drop "stops moving", because that's included in "changes speed"
(from something to zero).

When an object changes speed or changes direction, that's called "acceleration".

I dropped the first one from the list, because an object can be moving,
and as long as it's speed is constant and it's moving in a straight line,
there's no acceleration.

I think you meant to say "starts moving". That's a change of speed (from zero
to something), so it's also acceleration.

Isaac Newton's first law of motion states?
lesya [120]

Answer:

His first law states that every object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force. In other words its  inertia.

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

Option C is correct.

The component of acceleration perpendicular to an object’s velocity tells us How the object’s direction changes.

Explanation:

This acceleration is called radial/tangential acceleration. It is the reason why a body moving in circular motion with constant velocity can be said to also be accelerating because its direction is continuously changing. The acceleration is usually directed towards the centre of the circular motion of the body or trying to throw the body off its circular motion path.
