What is drag for an airplane?
Drag is a force that acts opposite to the direction of movement of an airplane. Drag is mainly caused by air. The other forces that act on the plane while moving in the air are thrust, lift etc..
What is the force that atcs in an opposite direction to the motion of a moving object?
Friction always acts in a direction opposing the motion of an object.
What is maneurverability?
an act or instance of changing the direction of a moving object.
What is the meaning of - To work smarter know the difference between motion and direction?
Motion is the act of moving. Direction is the act of motion in a said locations.
What forces act on a moving boat?
Centripetal, Centrifugal, Upthrust, Drag, Gravity, Air Resistance and Thrust.
How do you explain air resistance?
In fluid dynamics, drag (sometimes called air resistance or fluid resistance) refers to forces that oppose the relative motion of an object through a fluid (a liquid or gas).Drag forces act in a direction opposite to the oncoming flow velocity.[1] Unlike other resistive forces such as dry friction, which is nearly independent of velocity, drag forces depend on velocity.[2]For a solid object moving through a fluid, the drag is the component of the net aerodynamic orhydrodynamic force acting opposite to the direction of the movement. The component perpendicular to this direction is considered lift. Therefore drag opposes the motion of the object, and in a powered vehicle it is overcome by thrust.In astrodynamics, and depending on the situation, atmospheric drag can be regarded as an inefficiency requiring expense of additional energy during launch of the space object or as a bonus simplifying return from orbit.
Does the force of friction also act on the objects moving in the air?
Yes. It's called wind resistance, or air resistance, or air drag. Items with little drag are said to be streamlined.
What forces act on a bird as it dives?
Gravity acts in the direction directly towards the centre of the Earth. Drag acts in the direction directly opposite the bird's movement.
Both gravitational and electrical forces act along the direction of the force fields How is the direction of the magnetic force ona moving charge?
blah
When was After Dark - drag act - created?
After Dark - drag act - was created in 1976.
The function of a brake drum or rotor is to act as?
Friction device used to stop a moving vehicle.
What direction does friction act in to an object's direction of motion?
Friction will always act in the direction opposite of the relativistic motion of two objects. If object A is moving to the right on object B, then object A will experience the friction to the left. However, object B will be moving to the left on object A and will therefore experience the friction acting towards the right.
