Type two vocabulary words that you can recall we have learned in Air and Aerodynamics so far.
Fire needs 3 things in order to burn. Heat, fuel and...
Which of the following is NOT a property of air?
Air does not have a fixed shape or volume
Air has mass
Air takes up space
Air exerts pressure
Aircraft wings are shaped like what?
Which principle states that as the speed of air INCREASES, pressure DECREASES?
In this picture, the air is moving:
Faster over the top creating lower pressure. Slower on the bottom, creating drag
Faster over the top creating higher pressue. Slower on the bottom creating lower pressure
Faster over the top, creating lower pressure. Slower on the bottom, creating lift
Slower on the top creating higher pressure. Faster on the bottom, creating thrust
In Aerodynamics, lift is defined as:
The force that directly opposes the weight of an airplane and holds the airplane up in the air.
In Aerodynaimcs, thrust is:
The force that slows down an object
The force that steers an object left or right
The force that propels an object forward
The force that lifts an object off the ground
In Aerodynamics, Drag is:
a force that acts opposite to the relative motion (slows down) of an object moving through a fluid
In Aerodynamics, Weight is what?
If lift becomes greater than the weight and gravity what will happen to the plane?
If thrust becomes greater than drag, what will happen to the plane?
If lift, weight, thrust and drag are all equal what will happen to the plane?
If Thust becomes less than drag what happens to a plane?
What is the effect of altitude on air pressure?
Air pressure increases with altitude
Air pressure decreases with altitude
Air pressure remains the same with altitude
None of the above
What happens to an airplane when the weight is greater than the lift?
The airplane will ascend
The airplane will descend
The airplane will maintain its altitude
The airplane will stall
