Flight And Space EOC

When forming a team to solve a design challenge, why is it important to establish team norms before starting to work? Select all that apply.

• To ensure that all team members are treated with respect and have a voice

• To define how the team will function

• To decide who should do most of the work due to prior experience

• To encourage the productivity of the team

A startup company forms with a goal of designing, manufacturing, and selling a new invention—personal airplanes. Their design team comes up with several options to present to investors. The company CEO wants to pitch a product that is reliable and safe, but also affordable.

From the decision matrix shown, which product should they pitch?

• Design A

• Design B

• Design C

• Design D

Describe what happens to an airplane in flight when weight is greater than lift.

• Plane rises

• Plane descends

• Plane accelerates

• Plane slows

Which of Newton’s Laws of Motion explains what is happening in this statement—the jet engines produce hot exhaust gases, which flow out the back of the engines. In reaction, the force of thrust is produced in the opposite direction.

• Newton’s First Law

• Newton’s Second Law

• Newton’s Third Law

Multiple ______________ affects the plane's speed and direction?

• lift

• drag

• forces

• weight

Which of Newton’s Laws of Motion explains what is happening in this statement—An airplane accelerates because of the force of thrust.

• Newton’s First Law

• Newton’s Second Law

• Newton’s Third Law

The cruise speed of the Embraer Phenom 100 is 405 kts, and flight times between cities are based on this speed.

• If the pilot flies at cruising speed, then the plane will land early.

• If the pilot flies at cruising speed, then the plane will land on time.

• If the pilot flies at cruising speed, then the plane will land late.

• The pilot will cancel the flight.

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:

• The pilot flies slower to create less thrust and less lift

• The pilot flies slower to create more thrust and more lift

• The pilot flies faster to create less thrust and less lift

• The pilot flies faster to create more thrust and more lift
