Planes fly by balancing the forces of drag, thrust, lift, and gravity. As an aeroplane flies through the sky, it has to push through the air around it. Friction between the air and the plane slows the plane down. This is known as air resistance, or drag.
Not really. Their legs are made for running and walking
A plane's engines are designed to move it forward at high speed.That makes air flow rapidly over the wings,which throw the air down toward the ground,generating an upward force called lift that overcomes the plane's weight and holds it in the sky.
2)Not really.Their legs are made for running and walking. Jumping insects have special saltatorial or jumping hinglegs.
2) rixosus is the only ant species that can jump with either its legs or its mandibles. Trap-jaw ants are known for using their powerful jaws to launch themselves into the air,

ReplyDeleteOnly ant species can jump but normal ants can’t jump

Great explanation of how planes fly, Sophia and Lanilde.
ReplyDeleteShanel, do you know the name of the species of ant that can jump?

ReplyDeleteFantastic research, Ishak! You are right. Idriss and I are now watching videos of ants jumping!
