According to Newton's first law of motion, what will happen to a drone that has balanced forces acting upon it?
It will accelerate rapidly.
It will move in a circular path.
It will fall to the ground.
It will hover in place.
How does Newton's second law of motion relate to the acceleration of a drone?
The acceleration is unrelated to the force applied and the mass of the drone.
The acceleration is directly proportional to the mass of the drone and inversely proportional to the force applied.
The acceleration is directly proportional to the force applied and inversely proportional to the mass of the drone.
The acceleration is the same regardless of the force applied or the mass of the drone.

How does the shape of an airplane wing contribute to lift?
By pushing the air downward, which generates lift.
By creating a low pressure area above the wing and a high pressure area below the wing.
By creating a high pressure area above the wing and a low pressure area below the wing.
By creating turbulence in the air, which generates lift.
