1
Forces act in pairs
2
Force engine = thrust friction = drag
3
support = gravity
4
Horizontal forces acting on a moving car thrust( force of the engine) drag( air resistance)
5
Forces acting on an aeroplane lift, drag, gravity, thrust L=W and T=D when the plane is flying at a constant velocity
6
First Law of Motion: Balanced Forces balanced forces = no change in velocity
A stationary object will never move as long as the forces acting on it are balanced.
7
Resultant force gives direction of acceleration
The forces acting on an object moving at a constant velocity(steady speed) are also balanced forces. If the object starts to accelerate or decelerate then the forces will no longer be equal or balanced.
8
What is happening to the helicopter in each picture?
9
Thrust equals weight. Helicopter hovers at a constant altitude.
Weight greater than thrust. Helicopter stays on the helipad or drops in altitude. Thrust is greater than weight. Helicopter takes off and increases in altitude.
