Why is velocity and not just speed important to these pilots?

Physics
1 answer:
horrorfan [7]3 years ago
6 0
We're not sure which pilots you're talking about, but we can be sure
that whichever ones they are, velocity is more important to them than
just plain speed is.

Velocity is speed AND its direction.  I can clearly recall that when I was
taking flying lessons, and later flying solo with nobody else in the airplane
to get me out of a jam, it was not enough to know that my airspeed was
90 miles per hour.  I also needed to know at ALL times that my velocity
was NOT pointed straight at the ground. 

Happily, I knew, even back then, the difference between velocity and
just-plain-speed, and I'm sure that that is a big part of the reason that
I am here today to tell you the tale.

Answer:

The Forces of Flight

At any given time, there are four forces acting upon an aircraft.  

These forces are lift, weight (or gravity), drag and thrust. Lift is  

the key aerodynamic force that keeps objects in the air. It is the  

force that opposes weight; thus, lift helps to keep an aircraft in  

the air. Weight is the force that works vertically by pulling all  

objects, including aircraft, toward the center of the Earth. In order  

to fly an aircraft, something (lift) needs to press it in the opposite  

direction of gravity. The weight of an object controls how strong  

the pressure (lift) will need to be. Lift is that pressure. Drag is a  

mechanical force generated by the interaction and contract of a  

solid body, such as an airplane, with a fluid (liquid or gas). Finally,  

the thrust is the force that is generated by the engines of an  

aircraft in order for the aircraft to move forward.

Select the statement that correctly lists the forces from strongest to weakest. (2 points)
Vilka [71]

Strong Nuclear force: it is the short range force and strongest fundamental force in all type of forces.

Electromagnetism: this is the force due to magnetic and electric behavior of the particles. It is moderate type of force and its range is more than Nuclear force.

Weak Nuclear Force: This force is also short range force which act between the nucleoside. But this force is also moderate type of force

Gravitational force: this force is between two point masses and least order of force. also the range of this force is upto infinite.

so the correct order of this fundamental force is

<em>strong nuclear, electromagnetism, weak nuclear, gravitational</em>

The earth's tectonic plates are directly propelled by the convection in the __________.
frozen [14]

The missing word here is <u>Asthenosphere.</u><u> </u>

The convection in the asthenosphere directly propels the tectonic plates of the earth.


Did you know that the asthenosphere is thought to remain malleable because of heat from deep within the Earth? It is thought to be lubricating the earth's tectonic plates' undersides and enabling movement.


The older, denser portions of the lithosphere that are dragged downward in subduction zones are stored in the asthenosphere, according to the theory of plate tectonics.

The lithosphere above is stressed by convection currents, and the cracking that frequently results manifests as earthquakes.

Magma is forced upward through volcanic vents and spreading centers by convection currents produced within the asthenosphere, which also results in the formation of new crust.
