Guys pleasee help me out here I'm kinda having a hard time with these questions

1.) How was the thrust created in your paper airplane? Can you put too much thrust into your plane? Explain.

2.) Why did your plane eventually fall? Use the terms weight, thrust, lift, and drag

3.) Did your airplane have any drag? how could you change the shape to lessen the drag?

4.) How do animals that fly create the forces required for flight?​

Answer:
No worries, I can help you with those paper airplane questions!

1. Thrust in a Paper Airplane:

  - A paper airplane doesn't actually generate its own thrust. It relies on the push you give it when you throw it. The harder you throw, the more initial thrust it gets.  

  - You can't really put "too much thrust" in a paper airplane in the throwing sense. It's more about throwing it with the right amount of force and angle for good flight.

2. Why it Falls:

  - Eventually, your plane falls because of gravity. Its **weight** pulls it down.  

  - While the throw gives it initial thrust forward, air resistance (drag) slows it down over time.  

  - As it slows, the upward force called lift created by the wings isn't strong enough to overcome gravity anymore, so it falls.

3. Drag and Paper Airplane Design:

  - Yes, paper airplanes definitely experience drag. The air pushes back against the plane as it flies, slowing it down.  

  - To reduce drag, you can try:

     - Making the plane more streamlined (smooth and narrow)

     - Folding sharper wing edges for cleaner air flow

4. Animal Flight Forces:

  - Animals that fly use their wings to create lift, thrust, and control drag.

     - Birds flap their wings to push air down, generating lift and thrust

     - They adjust their wing angles to control lift and drag for maneuvers like climbing, gliding, or turning.
