Newton’s Third Law
Newton’s Second Law
Newton’s Law
Acceleration is the rate at which an object (a) , slows down, or changes direction.
Newton’s Third Law
Acceleration is produced when a force acts on an object. The greater the mass of the object, the greater the amount of force needed to accelerate the object.
An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
There is no third law

You are designing an airplane to carry liquid cargo that will slosh and move side to side in its container. This could make the plane unstable. What type of airfoil would you use for the wing? Why?
Low Camber
High Camber-Thick wing section
Symmetrical Camber
High Camber-Thin wing section
You have to design an airplane that is very fast. What type of airfoil would you use for the wing? Why?
High Camber-Thick wing section
Symmetrical Camber
Low Camber
High Camber- Thin wing section
