Bernoulli's Principle is named after which Swiss mathematician?
Jan Bernoulli
Daniel Bernoulli
Sebastian Bernoulli
No mathematician; it's named after Bern, the Swiss capital
What is the formula for drag?
D = Cd * A * r * 1/2 * V^2
D = Cd * 2A * r * 2 * V^2
D = Cd * A * r * 2 * V^2
D = Cd * 2A * 1/2r * 2 * V^2
Are the principles behind flying a kite similar to the principles behind flying a plane?
No
Yes
If you want it to be
Sam wants to fly his kite, but it just refuses to fly. Assuming there's nothing wrong with his kite, why may this be the case?
The wind is too weak
The lift is too strong
The thrust is too weak
The lift is too weak
BONUS: Theoretically, could you fly a kite on the moon and why?
Yes, you don't need wind
No, there's no wind
Yes, because there's no gravity, it'll just fly on its own
No, because you can't have lift without air
Is there something I can improve on for my next presentation?
