Explain how the shape of an airplane's wing helps it to generate lift.

• The wing is flat, allowing air to pass over it smoothly.

• The wing is curved on top and flat on the bottom, creating a pressure difference.

• The wing is flat on top and curved on the bottom, creating a pressure difference.

• The wing is curved on both sides, allowing for equal air pressure.

Compare the roles of the rudder and the elevator in controlling an airplane's movement.

• Both control the pitch of the airplane.

• The rudder controls the yaw, and the elevator controls the pitch.

• The rudder controls the roll, and the elevator controls the yaw.

• Both control the roll of the airplane.

How does the weight distribution in an airplane affect its stability during flight?

• Uneven weight distribution can cause the airplane to roll or pitch unexpectedly.

• Even weight distribution makes the airplane faster.

• Uneven weight distribution has no effect on the airplane's stability.

• Even weight distribution makes the airplane slower.

Analyze the impact of weather conditions on the flight performance of an airplane.

• Weather conditions have no impact on flight performance.

• Adverse weather conditions can affect lift, drag, and overall stability.

• Good weather conditions can make the airplane slower.

• Adverse weather conditions only affect the airplane's speed.
