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 road with a positive cross slope is highest __________.
Alja [10]

A road with a positive cross slope is highest in the center of the road.

The roads with Cross slopes are formed to provide the drainage system so that water will run off from the surface. Due to this no water stands on the roads, especially when there is heavy rain it is very useful. It is a very important safety factor.

With the intensity at about half of maximum, how does the current change when you increase the frequency of the light?
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Increase

Explanation:

Energy  of  given as follows

E = h f

Where f is the frequency of incident light

when high frequency light falls then it will increase the number of produce photon and that increase in number of photon will lead to increase in the number of electron.When number of electron will increase it mean that current will also increase.

So we can say that when frequency increase then current will increase.
