Fundentals Of Flight / NAMP / AIMD / NALCOMIS / NATOPS Flashcards
Explain acceleration.
The rate of change of the speed and/or velocity of matter with time.
Explain speed.
The rate of movement in terms of distance measured in an allotted amount of time.
Explain velocity.
The quickness or speed of an object in a given time and direction.
Explain Newton’s 1st Law.
Inertia - an object at rest will stay at rest, or an object in motion will continue in motion at the same speed and in the same direction, until acted upon by an outside source.
Explain Newton’s 2nd Law.
Force - if an object with uniform speed is acted upon by an external force, the change of motion, or acceleration, will be directly proportional to the amount of force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object being moved.
Explain Newton’s 3rd Law.
Action & Reaction - states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Explain Bernoulli’s principle.
When a fluid flowing through a tube reaches a construction or narrowing of the tube, the speed of the fluid passing through the construction is increased and its pressure decreased.
