To plan and test ideas safely before building them in real life.
To browse the internet for zoo facts.
To replace the need for real animals in a zoo.
To play a video game for fun.
Why would a programmer need data about how high and fast an aeroplane can fly?
To book a holiday for the pilot.
To buy the correct plane for an airline.
To write the code that creates a realistic flight simulator.
To design a new type of fuel.
According to the textbook, what happens if you don't provide a flight simulator with data for "speed"?
The simulator will crash.
The aeroplane will probably stay still and not move.
The plane will automatically turn left.
The plane will fly faster.
Who created one of the earliest known flight simulators, the "Link Trainer"?

When did the creator of the Link Trainer begin creating his simulator?
1927.
1929.
2026.
1850.
Why was the Link Trainer originally created?
To help planes fly faster.
To predict the weather for flights.
As a safe way to teach pilots how to use aeroplane controls.
For entertainment at a local fair.
Which of these is a way to input data to turn an aeroplane in the flight simulator?
Using the number keys 0 to 9.
Clicking the "Instructions" button.
Using the + and – keys.
Moving the mouse or using arrow keys.
What is a "spreadsheet model" primarily used for?

What is a "What-if analysis"?
A tool for checking if your computer has a virus.
A method for searching the internet for "What if" questions.
A way to ask questions and change values in a spreadsheet to see the effect.
A game played on a flight simulator.
Which of these is a typical "What-if" question for a business?

What if the computer runs out of battery?
What if we increased the selling price of ice cream by $0.50?

It helps them draw better pictures of ice cream.
It helps them plan how to make more profit.
It tells them which ice cream flavor is the tastiest.
It allows them to fly an aeroplane.
According to the textbook, what is another way a business could use a "What-if analysis"?
To test which staff member is the fastest runner.
To learn how to fix a broken printer.
To see what happens if they saved $10 per week.
To decide what color to paint the office walls.
Which comes first, the model or the simulation?
The two are unrelated and can be created in any order.
They are created at the same time because they are pretty much the same thing.
The model is created first because a simulation needs models to run.
Why do scientists use models?
To test many possible ideas to find solutions to difficult questions.
So that the object they are looking at can become real.
So they can have a smaller object to look at.
What is a simulation and why are they used?
A simulation is a giant model in motion for a test.
A simulation uses one or more models to imitate how those models might function in a real life situation.
A simulation tests a hypothesis with 100% accuracy.
All computers take input data, process data, store data, and output data.
