WorksheetsEngineering Design Process with Paper Airplanes
Total questions: 16
Worksheet time: 12mins
In the engineering, the design process begins when...
information about an existing product is gathered by an engineer.
an engineering design team comes up with ideas for a new product.
a design engineer recognises the need for a solution to a problem
The engineering design process is iterative. This allows engineers to…
become proficient at different engineering software applications.
find the most optimal solution to a design problem.
incorporate both math and science concepts into a design problem.
When finding the solution to an engineering design problem, there is/are usually…
only one possible correct solution
a very limited number of possible correct solutions
many possible correct solutions.
An iterative problem-solving strategy means that ______
we follow a process or certain steps repeatedly.
we cannot find a solution and give up.
we do not have all the information.
we are required to work by ourselves.
After planning a solution, the next step is to __________.
build a prototype
improve
ask questions
test and evaluate
After testing and evaluating your prototype design you would __________.
imagine and plan
improve the design
build a prototype
test and evaluate
. When you throw a paper plane in the air, you are giving the plane a push to move forward. That push is a type of force is called...
drag
lift
thrust
weight
The force that is applied by air moving over and under the wings is called...
thrust
gravity
drag
lift
When a plane moves through air, it is slowed down by the air. The force is called...
drag
lift
thrust
gravity
When you throw a paper plane, the plane eventually goes down because of...
thrust
air
the wrong hand movement
gravity
what are the four forces to take into account when you throw a paper plane?
hand, air, paper and humidity
thrust, lift, drag, and gravity
vertical, horizontal, power and weight forces
power, speed, gravity and shape
Positive Dihedral Angle is when the wings are?
Bent Upward
Bent Downward
Slanted Forward
Slanted Backward
If a small ball is placed in a stream of air, what will happen to the air?
It will bounce off the ball.
It will stick to the ball?
It will push the ball away
It will bend around the ball.
Why does positive dihedral help a paper airplane?
It makes the plane fly high.
It helps the plane not to stall.
It causes the plane to spin, resulting in greater stability.
It keeps the plane level in flight.
The Boundary Layer on a paper airplane is located?
On the tip of the wing.
On the chord of the wing.
Along the surface of the wing.
At the centerline of the wing.
