If the thrust of a plane becomes greater than the drag, the aircraft will accelerate forward. This increase in speed can lead to the plane climbing if the lift generated by the wings also exceeds the weight of the aircraft. However, if the thrust continues to significantly exceed drag, the plane will gain altitude and speed until it reaches a new equilibrium or until other factors (like engine limits or air density) come into play.

What happens if thrust is greater than drag?

The car (or plane/whatever else it is) accelerates. This means that it gains speed


What happens if the lift of a plane becomes greater than the weight?

It takes off


What happens to a plane when thrust and drag are equal?

When thrust and drag are equal, the plane's speed remains constant. The forces are balanced, and the plane will maintain its current velocity without accelerating or decelerating. This state is known as "steady level flight."


The engine of a plane is responsible for giving a plane what?

Thrust


WhaT does the engine of the plane provide?

Thrust


How much effort is needed if the length of the inclined plane is shorter?

As an inclined plane gets shorter, the angle gets steeper and the effort becomes greater.


What part of a plane causes the thrust?

The engine provides the thrust for a plane by propelling it forward through the force generated by the combustion of fuel and air.


What is the thrust on a airplane?

thrust is the force pushing the plane forward (or pulling in some cases)


What is the difference between a jet plane and a propeller?

A jet plane uses a jet engine's thrust for propulsion. A propeller is a set of blades somewhat like a big fan that blows air to the back of the plane for thrust instead of using a jet engine for the thrust to move the plane forward.


What force does a plane use?

A plane uses thrust, generated by its engines, to propel itself forward in the air. This thrust overcomes drag to propel the plane forward and generate lift, allowing the plane to stay airborne.


What happens to the mechanical advantage as the inclined plane gets steeper?

As the inclined plane gets steeper, the mechanical advantage decreases. This is because the force required to overcome gravity becomes greater as the angle of incline increases, requiring more effort to move an object up the ramp.


The forward force from a plane's engine is?

The forward force from a plane's engine is thrust.
