overthinking things can actually make a pilot neglect other things, like airspeed, or not hitting a mountain.
first off, just believe that the heavier a plane, the higher the maneuvering speed.
think of stalling a plane as blowing a safety valve on a boiler.
if the plane doesn't weigh too much, it is farther from the stall, so you have to be closer to the stall to protect it, so the lower speed brings you closer to the stall, and the protection for the structure.
accelerating a plane (like in a steep turn) makes the plane''heavier'' and then it is closer to the stall.
heavier means closer to the stall
lighter means farther from the stall
so, a higher speed at heavy weight is the same '''distance'' to the stall
as a slower speed at a light weight.
or you can sit in the plane, flying around thinking about newton and run into another plane instead of looking around for other traffic
now I'm sure someone will belittle me in some way for trying to over simplify and that's fine.
still remember the student who worked for nasa as an aerodynamic engineer who got lost on a back course apch.
yup..don't think too much
