When a airplane is traveling forward at 120 miles per hour and a bowling ball is dropped from the plane which way would the ball travel?

The above answer is rubbish. It would continue travelling forward. Whilst travelling forward it would also travel down. It would continue to travel forward until it slowed down to a zero forward speed ( DUE to air resistance ) but a terminal downward speed. Whether or not it would reach a zero forward speed and terminal downward speed would depend on how high it was when it was dropped.

Rockets are launched from an airplane in the forward direction of motion The kinetic energy of the airplane will be?
ANSWER:There kinetic energy of the airplane will be deceased
How does the drag affect the forward motion of the airplane?
Drag slows the forward movement of aircraft.
How does airplane works?
As an airplane moves forward a vacuum forms on top of the wing. That vacuum lifts the airplane off the ground and into the air.
What does thrust do to an airplane?
Thrust drives an aircraft forward.
What has the greatest effect on lift on an airplane?
Forward movement of the structure
What can an airplane do that a helicopter can not?
Airplanes can cruise faster in forward flight.
When rolling a bowling ball forward what is the primary movement of the shoulder joint?
flexion
What does the engine of an airplane do?
Basically, the engine of the airplane provides thrust, which help it go forward. There are many types of engines that can do the job.
What happens to the airplane if the center of gravity is too far forward?
The airplane will tilt like a helicopter or just crash upon takeoff
How are lift and thrust use in airplane?
Thrust is used to make it roll forward. This forward motion causes lift at the wings.
