PLTW Flight and Space

Which force counters weight (or moves the plane up)?

• drag

• thrust

• lift

• weight

Which force moves the plane forward?

• drag

• thrust

• lift

• weight

Which force slows the plane down?

• drag

• thrust

• lift

• weight

The up or down movement of an airplane's nose is

• pitch

• roll

• yaw

The weight force of an airplane is because of

• air resistance

• gravity

• wind

• the power of the engine

Bernoulli's Principle as it applies to an airplane's wings creates

• drag

• thrust

• lift

• weight

When lift and weight are equal, a plane will

• turn left or right

• stay at the same height

• ascend (rise)

• descend (drop)
