After being pushed away from the departure gate, an aircraft is standing still with the brakes applied and the engine running on very low. When the pilot releases the brakes he finds that the plane still does not start to move. Here are three explanations for why the plane does not move. Which one do you agree with? When a single force that is too weak acts on an object it will not move. When the pilot releases the brakes the only force acting on the plane is that of the engines but because this force is too weak, the plane will not move. When the pilot releases the brakes two forces act on it. The engines exert a force in one direction and there is a frictional force in the opposite direction. The plane does not move because the frictional force is stronger than the force of the engines. When the pilot releases the brakes two forces act on it. The engines exert a force in one direction and there is a frictional force in the opposite direction. The plane does not move because the frictional force is the same strength as the force of the engines After being pushed away from the departure gate, an aircraft is standing still with the brakes applied and the engine running on very low.
