What is the affect of weight on distance paper airplanes travel?

Aerodynamics teaches us that the heavier an object, the faster (more energy) is required across the wings to achieve lift. Moreso, the material that a plane is made out of has a limit to the amount of force it can handle. There will come a point where the plane can no longer overcome the force of gravity on it's mass.
it is heavier and fly lower it is heavier and fly lower it is heavier and fly lower it is heavier and fly lower more weght at the nose is better

∙ 12y agoGenerally and theoretically speaking, it all depends on Gravity, since the weight (not the mass) of an object determines how fast it will fall. Thus it is general knowledge to say that the heavier the weight of the paper, the shorter the flight path. The lighter the weight of the paper, the longer the airplane will stay in the air.
Of course, this also is highly dependent on the aerodynamic integrity of the paper airplane itself and how it is shaped and made to fly. A poorly built or folded paper airplane has a far shorter flight-path or no flight-path than one that is well built and/or folded, regardless of the weight of paper being used.

∙ 14y ago- The weight can alter the flight, depending on the variables, like how heavy you are going to make it and such...

∙ 15y agoIf it is too heavy, it will drop down. If it is too light, It is vulnerable to the slightest gust of wind. It is best to make it in-between(the average weight of a paper airplane)

What is the affect of weight on distance paper rockets travel?
it is the gravity affects the weight
How does weight affect a glider?
Weight is the main factor in the flight of the glider. More weight means the glider does not fly great distances. If the weight is less it will travel more distance.
Does the weight of a bat affect hitting distance?
the heaviest one
Why do wing length and plane weight matter with paper airplanes?
The combination of wing area and plane weight affect a paper airplane's glide ratio and range.
Is it true that lighter airplanes fly further?
Yes. It is true that lighter airplanes fly farther. More weight means more down thrust is acting on the plane. This means traveling less distance. But less weight means less downthrust. So the airplane flies farther.
Does the temp and weight affect the speed and distance of an airsoft pellet?
the heavier the bb, the less distance it will travel, but the more accurate it will be. Also, the only time temperature can affect a shot is if you are using a gas gun, because the temperature affects the pressure of the gas and the fps of the shot Temperature also affect hop-up rubbers, so travel distance of bullet will be lower, when it's cold. Basically, at +20C bullet fly twice as far, then at -20C. When temperatere below 0C, most gas gun not capable of shooting.
Do smaller paper airplanes fly farther than bigger paper airplanes?
yes because of its weight the weight brings it down
How does the weight of a car affect the distance a car travels down a ramp?
yes because Gravity is pulling it down and the heavier the mass the farther it will travel down the ramp. The heavier it is the more gravity has to pull down
How does weight effect paper airplanes?
if you place a paper clip on your paper airplane, you may find it improves performance by equalizing the load (weight) and lift (what the wings generate)
How does momentum affect how far you jump?
you're body weight builds momentum which accelerates the speed and or distance
What effects gun distance?
Assuming you mean the distance the bullet can travel, some things are: weather, windage, surface terrain, bullet weight, cartridge specs,
What things can affect braking distance?
Things that affect braking distance consist of the following factors: * speed at which you're travelling * weight of the car * road conditions * braking efficiency * friction between the road surface and your tires Things that affect braking distance consist of the following factors: * speed at which you're travelling * weight of the car * road conditions * braking efficiency * friction between the road surface and your tires
