MCQ
A jet plane flies in the air because
  • A
    The gravity does not act on bodies moving with high speeds
  • The thrust of the jet compensates for the force of gravity
  • C
    The flow of air around the wings causes an upward force, which compensates for the force of gravity
  • D
    The weight of air whose volume is equal to the volume of the plane is more than the weight of the plane

Answer

Correct option: B.
The thrust of the jet compensates for the force of gravity
(b)
