block xiv - fundamentals of flight Flashcards
force
causes change of motion in object
inertia
willingness of an object to remain at rest
acceleration
the rate change of speed and or velocity
speed
rate of move/distance measured in an allotted amount of time
velocity
the quickness or speed of an object in a given time & direction
what is motion?
the act or process of changing place or position, the basic fundamental of aviation
newtons first law
will remain at rest if at rest, remain in motion will continue until acted upon an outside force
newtons third law
action=reaction, For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
bernoullis principle
speed of fluid passing through the construction is increased and its pressure decreased
what are the three types of motion?
acceleration,speed,velocity
what is lift?
force that acts in an upward direction
what is weight
gravity acting downward on and everything of aircraft
what is drag
holds aircraft back, resist motion
what is thrust
developed by aircrafts engine, must be greater than or equal to the effects of drag
list axis of the aircraft
longitudinal,lateral,verrtical
