• None of these

An object with more mass or has more weight will also have more of this force?

• Lift

• Gravity

• Thrust

The unit of measurement for force is which of the following?

Pushing a pencil across a table is an example of which of the following?

• Thrust

• Force

• Balance

Look at the picture on the left. Which direction would you expect the ball to move?

• Left

• Right

• It would not move

What is the center of gravity for an object?

• The point at which gravity overcomes thrust

• The point at which all of an objects' weight is concentrated

• The point at which an object in flight is farthest from earth

Which of the four forces is missing from this picture?

• Gravitational Pull

• Momentum

• Lift

When this force reaches stability these rockets can reach maximum altitude?

• Light

• Weight

• Thrust

When you learn how rockets move through the air which of the following are learning about?

• Propulsion Dynamics

• Theromdynamics

• Aerodynamics

What is the purpose the ping pong ball at the end of this rocket and the fins?

• The ball is part of the nose cone to keep air flowing over the rocket and fins help the rocket fly straight

• The ball is part of the nose cone and gives the rocket a soft landing and the fins keep air flowing over the rocket

• The ball helps the keep the rocket flying straight and the fins make the rocket aerodynamic
