"I finished my research paper two days early."

A good way to determine active vs passive is to ask who performed the action. Did the subject perform the action, or was the action performed "by" the subject?

The subject performs the action in this sentence:

I = [subject]
finished = [action]
my research paper = [thing on which the action was performed]

In the other examples, the subject has an action performed on it. 

My research paper = [subject]
was finished/is being finished = [action]
two days early = [time frame information, not really important for the discussion here]

At this point, you have no indication as to who will finish the paper, do you? No. You assume that the paper will be completed "by me," but it could just as easily be completed "by my friend."

If you can add "by [person/thing]" to a sentence, it's passive voice. If you can't, it's not. Clearly, you would never say "I finished my research paper by me."

An airplane takes off when the upward force beneath its wings is greater than the downward force of gravity. Starting from when
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

There's no short answer.

Explanation:

The engines start working by burning fuel, this in turn starts turning the engine blades and the blades suck in air and push it out from the back of the engines. This creates a force that pushes the airplane forward. As the volume of air that goes in and out of the engines increase, so does the kinetic energy the airplane has. At a specific speed, depending a lot of factors such as the weight of the airplane, the length of the wings etc, the force that the moving air provides from beneath the wings surpasses the force of gravity that is applied to the plane, the plane takes off.

I hope this answer helps.
