Flight and Space Unit 1

Front

Identify the step of the Design Process that involves taking design considerations into account, such as how far a paper airplane should fly and where it should land.

Front

What happens to an airplane in flight when drag is greater than thrust?

Back

Plane slows

Front

Which of Newton’s Laws of Motion explains why an airplane accelerates due to the force of thrust?

Back

2nd Law

Front

Which of Newton’s Laws of Motion explains this statement: An airplane was at rest on the runway, waiting in line for the planes ahead of it to take off. The pilot turns on the jet engines and the plane begins moving forward on the runway. The plane changed from a state of rest to being in motion as a result of the force of thrust.

Back

1st Law

Front

A military cargo plane is loaded with the maximum weight allowable for the flight. The cargo is heavier than what the pilot usually carries, so the pilot adjusts as follows:

Back

The pilot flies faster to create more thrust and more lift
