  • what forces are acting up on an airoplane as it accelerates
    • thrust
    • friction
    • air resistance
    • thrust has the bigger arrow
  • an airplane moves forward 300kn due to thrust while 300kn of air resistance acting up on it.Describe it's motion
    • moves in the direction of the thrust
    • at a constant velocity
  • if the same airoplane slows thrust decreases to 200kn what happens
    • the plane will decelerate because there's a backward resultant force of 100kn
  • name two quantities that are constant in circular motion
    • speed magnitude of the force
  • how the forces on a persons foot allow them to walk on the ground
    • one force pushes the ground backwards from the foot
    • one foot pushes the foot forward the ground
    • Force are equal and opposite
  • why doesn't the earth move backwards when we walk on it
    • we exert a small force on the earth but it's negligible so the accleration is small
    • person with the foot is smaller than the earth so they receive a much larger accleration
  • why does she keep unused masses on top of the trolly
    • the the total weight remains the same so the acclerations remains constant
  • what does the direction of centrpedal accleration look like
