An airplane moves through the air at a constant speed. The engines’ thrust applies a force in the direction of motion, and this

force is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the drag force. Reducing thrust will cause the plane to fly at a slower—but still constant—speed. Explain why this is so.

lord [1]3 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

This is because the drag force suffered by the aircraft is proportional to the speed at which it travels. The thrust of the engines prints a speed to the plane and this speed prints a drag force, always reaching an equilibrium point of these two forces where the speed of the plane is constant and the acceleration is equal to zero.

Therefore, by reducing the thrust, the drag force is greater and the plane begins to decrease its speed, until it reaches the point where the new drag force is matched with the new thrust force, giving it a new final speed , without acceleration.

In physics, why would an equation like y=mx+b be plotted as a straight line rather than as a parabola, as is done in math?
notka56 [123]

Answer:

Explanation:

In Both Physics and Math

y=mx+b is plotted as straight line where

m=slope of line

b=intercept on Y-axis

whereas Equation of parabola is something like this

y^2=4ax

or

x^2=4ay

Math is a tool to solve Physics problems so equations are same in math and physics
