Grace is working on a science project where she needs to design a model airplane. She learns that the shape of a wing or blade as seen in cross-section is crucial. It's designed to produce lift when moving through air. A streamlined surface designed in such a way that air flowing around it produces useful motion. What is this called?
elevators
airfoil
camber
fuselage

Drag
Lift
Thrust
Gravity
Aiden is building a model rocket for a school project. Which rocket component should he focus on to ensure the rocket has stability during flight?
fin
streamer
nose cone
shockcord
Resistance that slows an object down in the air.
Airfoils
Ailerons
Fan
Drag
What is the function of the launch lug?
to hold the nose cone to the body tube
provides thrust
provides stability
to hold the rocket straight
reduces drag
How does Newton's first law explain how a rocket will take off?
The rocket stays at rest until ignition.
The more mass a rocket has the more force is needed to take off.
Gas pushes down, the rocket goes up.
Why is it important to have fins on your rocket?
They stabilize the rocket
The reduce drag
They evenly distributes the weight
