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).

Is thrust greater than drag?
yes
When is thrust greater than drag?
The object accelerates.
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 when thrust is greater than drag?
When thrust is greater than drag, the aircraft will accelerate and increase its speed. This will lead to a climb in altitude or a change in direction due to the increased force pushing the aircraft forward.
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.
Does a hot air balloon depend on thrust or drag?
A hot air balloon does not depend on thrust like an airplane does. It rises due to the buoyancy of the hot air inside the envelope, which is lighter than the surrounding air. Drag does affect the balloon's movement and control, but it is not the primary force that allows it to float.
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 is the opposite of thrust?
The opposite of thrust is pull or drag. Thrust involves pushing something forward, while pull or drag involves moving something backward or in the opposite direction.
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.
How do you use thrust to overcome drag?
Thrust is the force produced by an engine to propel an object forward. To overcome drag, an object must generate enough thrust to balance out the drag acting in the opposite direction. By increasing thrust or reducing drag, an object can achieve a higher speed or maintain steady motion in the presence of drag forces.
What is the relationship of lift drag thrust and weight when the airplane is in straight-and-level flight?
Lift equals weight and thrust equals drag.
