Ask an Explainer
Q:
How do you take off in a plane?
A:
A plane will use its engines to create thrust, pushing it down the runway. As it gains speed, the force of lift will grow, until it is more than the force of weight. Since there's more upwards push than downwards pull, the plane will start to lift off the ground!
