Question

Suppose you are walking in an airliner in flight. Use Newton’s third law to describe the effect of your walk on the motion on the airliner.

Answer 1

Answer:

The effect of your walking will create a force on the airline acting downwards, due to the weight. By Newton's thirds law the airline will exert an equal and opposite reaction force directed downwards.

Explanation:

The weight of all the passengers acts downwards on the floor of the Airplane.

The Airplane exerts an equal and opposite force on the passengers, with the help of its propulsion due to which the flight keeps on flying without falling down.

Hence by changing the frame of reference we can observe the force which is responsible for the reaction.
