Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

An airplane hovering at a steady height experiences a drag force of 100 N and a lift force of 150 N. Discuss how the airplane can achieve stability.

💡 Hint: Consider what happens if lift suddenly decreases.

Challenge 2 Hard

Calculate the terminal velocity for a spherical object with a diameter of 0.1 m, mass of 0.2 kg in water with density 1000 kg/m³.

💡 Hint: Remember that terminal velocity occurs when the net force is zero.
