    Well when the airplane fly's up there is a force drag. When the plane Go up it is being pulled down by gravity, and drag due to wind resistance. One of the fundamental equations in physics is Newton's second law that relates the sum of the forces acting on an object, its mass and acceleration.

    F=ma

    Acceleration and velocity are related by:

    a = dv / dt

    Where dv is change in velocity and dt is change in time.

    Velocity and position are related by:

    v = dp / dt


    hope this helps
