Aerodynamics Flashcards
1
Q
Newton’s First Law: Inertia
A
A body at rest will remain at rest, and a body in motion will remain in motion, at the same speed and in the same direction until affected by an outside force
2
Q
Newton’s Second Law: Momentum
A
A body will accelerate in the same direction as the force acting upon that body, and the acceleration will be directly proportional to the net force and inversely proportional to the mass of the body
3
Q
Newton’s Third Law: Reaction
A
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Responsible for a portion of the lift that is produced by lift
4
Q

A
Pattern of movement
5
Q
