Forces and Flight

This "force" acting on an airplane allows the plane to go UP

• weight

• lift

• drag

• thrust

In order for the plane to go "UP" it must over come and be greater than this "opposite" force...

• weight

• lift

• drag

• thrust

This force acting on a plane resists forward movement

• weight

• lift

• drag

• thrust

This force acting on a plane makes it move forward

• lift

• weight

• thrust

• drag

Simply, what happens when lift is greater than weight?

• plane goes forward

• plane goes down

• plane goes up

• plane slows down

Simply what happens when drag is greater than thrust?

• plane goes up

• plane goes down

• plane goes forward

• plane slows down/ decelerates

The arrow under the plane represents?

• lift

• drag

• weight

• thrust

In order for a plane to rise in the air, it must overcome or be greater than this arrow?

• arrow in front

• arrow above

• arrow below

• arrow behind

In order for the plane to move forward, it must have a greater force than this arrow?

• up arrow

• down arrow

• front arrow

• back arrow
