gravity
What is gravity?
the force that makes it difficult for one object to slide along the surface of another or to move through liquid or gas
the force that attracts a body toward the center of the earth or toward any other physical body having mass
What is friction?
The force that makes it difficult for one object to slide along the surface of another or to move through liquid or gas
The force that attracts a body toward the center of the earth or toward any other physical body having mass
What is acceleration?
the rate at which an object speeds up, slows down, or changes direction
the amount of matter in an object
What is mass?
the rate at which an object speeds up, slows down, or changes direction
the amount of matter in an object
In 1686, Sir Isaac Newton discovered the Three Laws of Motion
True
False
Law of inertia- objects in motion tend to stay in motion AND objects at rest tend to stay at rest UNLESS something pushed or pulls on the object
3rd Law of Motion
2nd Law of Motion
1st Law of Motion
(Force = Mass x Acceleration) - 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.

What is magnitude?
the force of gravity that pulls objects downward
the size or quantity of something

What is weight?
the force of gravity that pulls objects downward

What is an airfoil?
the hinged part of the stabilizer on an aircraft that is used to deflect the rail of the plane up and down
a streamlined surface designed in such a way that air flowing around it produces useful motion. The cross-section of an airplane wing.
What is an elevator?
the hinged part of the stabilizer on an aircraft that is used to deflect the tail of the plane up and down
a streamlined surface designed in such a way that the air flowing around it produces useful motion. The cross-section of an airplane wing.
What is an aileron?
small moving section at the rear of the stabilizer that helps to control the yawing motion of the aircraft
the curvature of the airfoil
the part of an airplane that raises and lowers the wings, causing the airfoil to roll
What is a rudder?
small moving section at the rear of the stabilizer that helps control the yawing motion of the aircraft
the curvature of the airfoil
that part on an airplane that raised and lowers the wings, causing the aircraft to roll
What is camber?
small moving section at the rear of the stabilizer that helps to control the yawing motion of the aircraft
the curvature of the airfoil
the part on an airplane that raises and lowers the wings, causing the aircraft to roll
