Is thrust greater than drag?

yes


When is thrust greater than drag?

The object accelerates.


A rocket ship leaves earth's atmosphere. Its Initial velocity is less than its final velocity. What is this an example of?

Reduced atmospheric drag at higher altitudes, Acceleration due to the thrust of the rocket's engine(s).


Which way does a plane take off?

what ever way it needs go......... luv yooh Updated answer if required: Aircraft generally takeoff into the wind to help with the four fundamentals of flight, wieght, drag, thrust then lift.


Why 40 angle of attack during reentry of spaceshuttle?

An angle of attach of less than 40 degrees would have caused the shuttle to bounce back off the atmosphere - in the same way as stones are skimmed on water.An angle greater than 40 degrees would have resulted in great deal of drag (friction). This would have caused the shuttle's skin to heat up more than the heat-tiles could have managed.An angle of attach of less than 40 degrees would have caused the shuttle to bounce back off the atmosphere - in the same way as stones are skimmed on water.An angle greater than 40 degrees would have resulted in great deal of drag (friction).

Does a hot air balloon depend on thrust or drag?

thrust and drag, because with out thrust the hot air balloon would not be able to move forward and with out drag it would not be able to stop


What happens to the four forces in order to make an airplane fly?

The four basic forces acting on an aircraft are Lift, Weight (Gravity), Thrust, and Drag. In order for an aircraft to ascend, Lift must be greater than Weight, and Thrust must be greater than Drag.


How does the lift thrust drag and gravity affect a helicopter?

Lift, thrust, drag, and gravity affects all flying objects and wildlife. The blades of the helicopter provide lift, drag and thrust.


Where do the thrust gravity lift and drag vector arrows go?

Thrust would point in the direction of travel. Drag would counter thrust, so generally in a direction 180 degrees from the thrust vector's direction. The lift vector would point in the direction (generally) away from the center of the earth. The gravity vector would point toward the center of the earth.


What are the four forces that act on an airplane in flight?

Lift, weight, thrust and drag.


How come an airplane floats in air?

Essentially there are 4 aerodynamic forces that act on an airplane in flight; these are lift, drag, thrust and gravity (or weight).In simple terms, drag is the resistance of air (the backward force), thrust is the power of the airplane's engine (the forward force), lift is the upward force and gravity is the downward force. So for airplanes to fly, the thrust must be greater than the drag and the lift must be greater than the gravity (so as you can see, drag opposes thrust and lift opposes gravity).This is certainly the case when an airplane takes off or climbs. However, when it is in straight and level flight the opposing forces of lift and gravity are balanced. During a descent, gravity exceeds lift and to slow an airplane drag has to overcome thrust.


What is the opposite of thrust?

Ths is a good question but the opposite of thrust is drag.


What helps an airplane overcome drag so it can thrust forward?

Aerodynamics help reduce drag so the engines can produce thrust.
