The rate at which the drone changes its speed in any direction is called:

a)

Velocity

b)

Acceleration

c)

9.

The reduction of the drone’s speed, often achieved by decreasing thrust or tilting in the opposite direction of motion, is called:

a)

Braking

b)

Acceleration

c)

Hovering

d)

Lifting

10.

The unintended movement of the drone caused by external forces like wind or imperfect calibration is called:

a)

drift

b)

hover

c)

ascend

d)

descend

Direct control

c)

Manual piloting

d)

Random flight

12.

A smooth, curved motion where the drone rolls and yaws simultaneously to change direction is called:

a)

Hovering

b)

Banked Turn

c)

Vertical Takeoff

d)
