Which of Newtons laws best describe Rocket Launch?
a)
Every object moves in a straight line unless acted upon by a force
b)
The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force exerted and inversely proportional to the object's mass
c)
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction
2.
True or False: Gravity only affects objects in free fall, not those in flight.
a)
TRUE
b)
FALSE
3.
This part of the wing creates drag and lift and allows the plane to fly more slowly.
a)
Flaps
b)
Ailerons
c)
Vertical Stabilizer
d)
Horizontal Stabilizer
e)
Slats
4.
This part of the plane moves along the longitudinal axis (roll). They help to turn the plane.
a)
Ailerons
b)
Vertical Stabilizer
c)
Horizontal Stabilizer
d)
Flaps
e)
Slats
5.
This part is on the vertical section of the tail. It moves side to side on the vertical axis (yaw).
a)
Rudder
b)
Ailerons
c)
Vertical Stabilizer
d)
Horizontal Stabilizer
e)
Flaps
6.
The part of the tail that moves on the lateral axis. When it goes down, the plane goes up.
a)
Elevator
b)
Ailerons
c)
Vertical Stabilizer
d)
Horizontal Stabilizer
e)
Flaps
7.
The pilot needs to make an emergency landing, but first needs to turn the plane around with the use of a Rudder and Ailerons.
If the pilot is trying to roll the plane to the RIGHT, how will the ailerons engage during the flight?
a)
Flaps and Slats will open and the rudder will turn right.
b)
Right Aileron will be lowered and left Aileron will be raised.
c)
Left Aileron will be lowered and right Aileron will be raised.
d)
Rudder and Elevator will both be lowered.
8.
How does an airplane generate lifts?
a)
The difference in pressure creates a force on the wing that lifts the wing up into the air.
b)
The use of ailerons and rudder will equalize the forces during a lift.
c)
The thrust generated by the turbines will increase the drag causing the fuselage of the plane to rise.
d)
Flaps and slats reduce the forces responsible to lift the plane.
