Another example of Newton’s first law is a car trying to stop on ice. Once the car is moving in a certain direction and the brakes are applied, the car will not stop easily because of the minimal friction force between the tires and the ice. The car continues to move in its original horizon- tal direction because the unbalanced force of friction is small compared with the forward motion of the car. As a result, the car stays in motion. Drag Airspeed Lift Weight Thrust The first law of motion can also be observed in an aircraft in flight. The four major forces acting on an aircraft in flight are lift, drag, thrust, and weight. Considering an aircraft traveling at a constant altitude, the lift and weight can be neglected (they cancel one another out). For this example, the weight change due to the decrease in fuel is neglected. If an aircraft travels at a constant speed, thrust equals the drag. As a result, there is no net force on the plane and the plane continues to travel in a horizontal line. If, however, the engine produces any additional thrust, the plane’s motion will change. Example Problem: A Boeing 747 has a mass of 174,000 kg. What is the minimum lift force required to get it off the ground? Solution: The lift force must overcome the force due to the weight of the plane. The weight force is calculated as follows: W = mg W = (174,000 kg)(9.8 m/s2) W = 1,705,200 Newtons (N) Because the force due to the weight of the plane is 1,705,200 N in the downward direction, the lift force must be greater than 1,705,200 N in the upward direction to stay in the air. PROBLEMS 1. When an airplane is moving at a constant speed at a constant altitude, the sum of the forces acting on the airplane equal ________________. For questions 2 to 4, use the following information: A jet is flying at a constant height of 10,894 km with a constant speed of 1210 km/hr. This jet weights 109,000 kg. Assume gravity is 9.80 m/s2. 2. What is the force acting on the plane due to its weight (W = mg)? 3. How much lift force is being applied to the jet? 4. If the jet is providing a thrust of 104,525 N, what is the drag force applied to the jet? 5. If the drag of a plane is greater than the thrust generated by the engine, the plane will __________. 6. Use Newton’s first law of motion to explain why people should wear seatbelts. 48 Four forces. Newton’s First Law of Motion
