How Can You Predict a Plane's Motion Vector Based on Force Vectors?

AI Thread Summary
To predict a plane's motion vector based on three acting forces—weight, thrust, and aerodynamic pressure—one must first calculate the net force vector by summing these forces. This net force vector is then divided by the plane's mass to find the net acceleration vector. By multiplying the net acceleration vector by a small time interval, one can determine the change in the plane's velocity vector. This method allows for an estimation of the motion vector after a short time. Understanding these principles is crucial for accurate predictions in aerodynamics.

Hello every one:smile:

I hope you can answer me when you read my question which is:

If a plane in state of motion with three forces acting on it:1-Weight,2-Purpolsive(engine thrust),3-Aerodynamic(air Pressure)
All three forces' vectors with the vector of motion are given.

How can we guess the motion vector after a short time?

Note"There is no more info beside what mentioned"

THANK YOU SO MUCH:smile:

The sum of the three force vectors results in a net force vector. The net force vector divided by the mass of the plane is the net acceleration vector, which can then be multiplied by a small amount of time to determine the change in the net velocity vector.
 
How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...
Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'
Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
I'd like to create a thread with links to 3-D Printer resources, including printers and software package suggestions. My motivations are selfish, as I have a 3-D printed project that I'm working on, and I'd like to buy a simple printer and use low cost software to make the first prototype. There are some previous threads about 3-D printing like this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-3d-printers-easy-to-use-yet.917489/ but none that address the overall topic (unless I've missed...
