The Four Forces

Ask an Expert Topic Forum: Grades 6-8: Physical Science

The Four Forces The Four Forces We all know of the four forces acting on us: Drag Thrust Weight Lift But can we burst due to the forces acting too hard on us? Please help me :idea: Re: The Four Forces Khadija - As a pilot, I recognized your force descriptions as they relate to aircraft flight. I'm not sure I understand your question about these forces causing us to burst. Could you ask your question with more detail on your concerns? Thanks. Rick Marz Read more
