The upward force that works against the downward pull of gravity is
lift
thrust
drag
weight
This force is always directed towards the center of the earth and is dependant upon the mass of the airplane plus the amount of fuel and people on board.
lift
drag
weight/gravity
thrust
The mechanical force generated by a solid object moving through fluid/air. (the resistance of air against the forward movement of an airplane)
lift
drag
thrust
weight/gravity
Air pressure ABOVE the wing is (higher) or (lower) than air pressure below the wing?
higher
lower
An airplane manufacturer continues to hear from airlines that the landing gear indicator keeps flashing off and on, confusing the flight crew. Which step of the design process should the designers of the plane revisit?
Ask
Explore
Plan
Create
Improve
A push or pull on an object.
Force
Gravity
Unbalanced forces
Friction
An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force.
Newton’s First Law
Newton’s Third Law
Newton’s Second Law
Newton’s Law
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
Lift
Drag
Thrust
Weight
This picture is showing which of the following?
Lift
Drag
Thrust
Weight
Ms. Brown's Airplane prototype was (a) powered.
What is Aerodynamics?
The study of forces and the resulting motion of objects through the air
A powered heavier-than-air aircraft with fixed wings from which the aircraft derives most of it's lift
A type of aircraft deriving both lift and propulsion from one or two sets of horizontally revolving rotors
What is Aeronautics ?
A glider designed for sustained flight
A type of aircraft deriving both lift and propulsion from one or two sets of horizontally revolving rotors
The study or practice of travel through air
What is an Airship?
A power-driven aircraft kept bouyant by a body of gas (usually helium) which is lighter that air
A powered, aerial vehicle that does not carry a human operator, uses aerodynamic forces to provide vehicle lift, can fly autonomously or be piloted remotly, can be expendable or recoverable, and can carry a lethal or nonlethal payload
The study or practice of travel through air
What is Astronautics?
A type of aircraft deriving both lift and propulsion from one or two sets of horizontally revolving rotors
An aircraft with floats or skies instead of wheels, designed to land on and take off from water
The art and science of designing, building, and operating manned or unmanned space objects
What is a Hot Air Balloon?
A glider designed for sustained flight
A large bag filled with hot air or gas to make it rise in the air, with a basket for passengers hanging from it
A rocket-launched spacecraft able to land like an unpowered aircraft, used for journeys between earth and craft orbiting the Earth
Who was the first man on the Moon?
Buzz Aldrin
Mike Collins
John Glenn
Neil Armstrong
