What is Newton's Second Law of Motion?

Back

The rate of change of momentum of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it, and this change occurs in the direction of the applied force.

What is the importance of regular maintenance in preventing corrosion?

Back

Regular maintenance, inspection, cleaning, and application of lubrication are essential to prevent corrosion and ensure the longevity of materials.

Front

What is the shift in focus in aviation from eliminating error?

Back

The focus has shifted to preventing and managing errors rather than solely eliminating them.

Front

What information can typically be found in an aircraft specification or type certificate data sheet?

Back

It usually includes the maximum weight as used in weight and balance calculations.

Front

How is distraction defined in the context of attention?

Back

Distraction is the act of diverting attention from a desired area of focus.

Front

What is the formula for calculating momentum?

Back

Momentum (p) is calculated as the product of mass (m) and velocity (v): p = m * v.

Front

What are the three laws of motion proposed by Newton?

Back

1. Newton's First Law: An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by a net external force. 2. Newton's Second Law: The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. 3. Newton's Third Law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Front

What is the role of lubrication in preventing corrosion?

Back

Lubrication creates a protective barrier that reduces friction and prevents moisture and corrosive substances from coming into contact with metal surfaces.

Front

What does the term 'weight and balance' refer to in aviation?

Back

Weight and balance refers to the distribution of weight in an aircraft and its effect on the aircraft's center of gravity and stability.

Front

What is the significance of inspection in maintenance operations?

Back

Inspection is crucial for identifying potential issues before they lead to failures, ensuring safety and reliability.
