Lift: is also known as the upwards force. It helps to keep an airplane, aircraft, hovercraft, bird, etc. in the air by pushing it upwards. The wings of a bird or airplane are huge factors in how great the force of lift is. This is because the top of the wing is curved and the bottom is flat. When the air is traveling on top of the wing it goes faster creating a low pressure. When the air passes under the wing, it goes slower creating a high pressure thus pushing the object upwards.

What is an upward force?
It is a force which acts in the upward direction.
What force is needed to accelerate an elevator with a mass of 1000 kg upward at a rate of 2 m per second squared?
Weight of the elevator = 1000kg x -9.8m/s2 = -9800N Upward force acting on the elevator = 1000kg x 2m/s2 = 2000N Net force = upward force - weight of elevator = 2000N - (-9800N) = 11800N
How to convert Normal Force lbf to Lift lbf?
Lift lbf = (Normal force lbf) x (cosine of angle of attack)
What statement about airplane and rocket is true?
Only one requires air molecules to generate lift.
What is the force that enables planes to stay in the air?
Lift
Is the upward force on a airplane wing is thrust?
Thrust is the forward motion of the airplane provided by the engines. Lift is the upward force on an airplanes wing.
The upward force acting on the wing of an airplane in flight is called?
Lift.
Is the upward force on a airplane wing a thrust?
No. We call the upward component of force "lift"."Thrust" is the component of force forward ... the direction the plane's nose points.
Is the upward force of an airplane called thrust?
Not, it is called lift. And trust is the power generated by the engines.
What fluid opposes lift?
Compressible fluid force opposes lift. Lift is the upward force due to the fluid flow around an airplane wing. Weight is a downward force caused by gravity which opposes lift.
What is the upward force due to fluid flow around an airplane wing?
Dont know maybe density force.
An upward force on a plane is called?
'Lift' is an upward force on a plane. Upward force on a bird's wings is also called 'Lift'.
Is the upward force that opposes the force of gravity?
Lift is the upward force that opposes the force of gravity.
How much lift does it take for an airplane to get off the ground?
In order to lift off the ground, the lift force (the upward force generated by the wings) has to be at least as great as the weight of the aircraft. Lift and weight are opposing forces and are equal in straight and level flight.
What makes airplane fly?
Lift! The wings on a plane create an upward lift.
What is the upward force acting on the wing of an airplane in flight?
It's called "lift" and is the difference in air pressure between above and below the wing.
Upward force on a bird's wing?
It is called Lift. The difference in pressure above and below the wigs as a bird moves through the air produces an upward force that causes the bird to rise.
