What is Newton's 3rd Law of Motion and how it is applied?
[ answer for application varies ]
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
|
What is thrust?
forward motion
|
|||
What is Newton's 1st Law of Motion and how it is applied?
[ answer for application varies ]
A body in motion tends to stay in motion (in a straight line) and a body at rest tends to stay at rest unless an outside force causes it to stop.
|
What is lift?
upward motion
|
|||
What is Newton's 2nd Law of Motion and how it is applied?
[ answer for application varies ]
Explains how much force is needed to cause an object to move faster.
[ f=ma is an acceptable answer but not full credit (75 pts.)] |
What is weight?
downward motion (opposes lift)
|
|||
What is the Bernoulli's Principle?
Increased airflow in turn makes decreased air pressure (air flowing over the curved upper surface of a wing can speed up the aircraft)
|
What is drag?
backwards motion (opposes thrust)
|
|||
What is the history on flight?
(***6 events (100 pts. each)***) [ date can be as close as possible ]
