Ask an Explainer

Q:

How does gravitational force act on an aeroplane?

A:

You must grapple with gravity no matter how or where you fly, because gravity is everywhere—you can’t escape it. The force of gravity is called Weight. It acts in a downward direction— pulling airplanes towards the center of the Earth. The person who discovered gravity was Sir Isaac Newton, an English physicist, mathematician, and astronomer.
