Q

What are the 4 forces of flight?

A

17
Q

What is Newton’s first law?

A

Law of Inertia

18
Q

What is the Law of Inertia?

A

If in object is at rest it will stay at rest and if an object is moving it will keep moving at constant speed unless an external force acts on the object, e.g., when you kick a ball uphill and it stops due to gravity.

19
Q

What is Newton’s second law?

A

Law of Acceleration

20
Q

What is the Law of Acceleration?

A

When an external force is applied to an object, it causes it to accelerate, e.g., force = mass x acceleration

21
Q

What is Newton’s third law?

A

Law of Motion

22
Q

What is the Law of Motion?

A

Every time there is an action force, there is also a reaction force that is equal in size and acts in the opposite direction, e.g., when you sit on a chair it is applying an equal amount of force back, otherwise you would fall through or you would bounce off the chair.

23
Q

What are the forces?

A

Push, pull, or twist applied from one object to another

24
Q

What is drag?

A

Friction with the air that slows the plane down
