a)

Hovering

b)

Gliding

c)

Ascending

d)

Descending

2.

The air resistance acting against the drone’s motion, typically affecting speed and energy efficiency, is called:

a)

Drag

b)

Lift

c)

Thrust

d)

Weight

3.

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

a)

Velocity

b)

Acceleration

c)

Momentum

d)

Displacement

4.

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

5.

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

6.

The upward force generated by the propellers to counteract gravity and lift the drone off the ground is called:

a)

Thrust

b)

Drag

c)

Lift

d)

Weight

7.

The additional lift generated as the drone moves forward, typically due to increased airflow over the rotors, is called:

a)

Translational Lift

b)

Dynamic Lift

c)

Forward Thrust

d)

Rotor Wash

8.

A programmed flight path where the drone moves through a series of specified points is called:

a)

Waypoint navigation

b)

Direct control

c)

Manual piloting

d)

Random flight

9.

The distance required for a drone to make a full turn at a given speed is called:

a)

Turning radius

b)

Flight path

c)

Altitude

d)

Velocity

10.

The consistent speed at which a drone moves efficiently during flight is called:

a)

Hover speed

b)

Cruise speed

c)

Maximum speed

d)

Minimum speed

11.

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)

Spiraling

12.

The tilt of the drone to the left or right along its longitudinal axis, allowing it to move sideways, is called:

a)

Pitch

b)

Yaw

c)

Roll

d)

Hover

13.

Dynamic Positioning in the context of drones is:

a)

a method to control a drone's position using GPS and sensors

b)

a technique for increasing drone speed

c)

a way to enhance drone battery life

a strategy for drone maintenance

14.

The intentional angle adjustment of the drone’s body to achieve a particular motion or direction is called:

a)
