| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| what and whereis the vertical stabilizer? | it is in the back of the plane and it controls yaw. |
| Rudder, where and what does it do? | back of the plane. change Yaw ( side to side) |
| Elevator where and what does it do? | back of plane changes pitch 9 up and down) |
| flaps where and what does it do? | wing, change lift and drag. |
| Aileron, where and what does it do? | wing outside flap.... changes roll. |
| spoiler, where and what does it do? | front of wing, changes lift, dragf and roll. |
| slats, where and what do they do? | very front of wing, change lift. |
| fuselage ( body) what does it do.??? | holds things together & carries the payload. |
| cockpit... where and what does it do? | command and control, front of plane. |
| jet engine where and what does it do? | generates thrust... circular things on the mid of plane. |
| wing.. where and what does it do? | the middle of the plane... generates lift. |
| horizontal stabilizer. where and what? | its in back of the plane and controls pitch. |
| charles law of gas. | At constant pressure, the volume of a given mass of an gas increases or decreases by the same factor as its temperature |
| boyles gas law. | For a fixed amount of an ideal gas kept at a fixed temperature, P [pressure] and V [volume] are inversely proportional (while one increases, the other decreases |
| bernulies fluid principals | an increase in the speed of the fluid occurs simultaneously with a decrease in pressure or a decrease in the fluid's potential energy |
| pascal | pressure exerted anywhere in a confined incompressible fluid is transmitted equally in all directions throughout the fluid |
| arcamedes | is an upward acting force, caused by fluid pressure, that opposes an object's weight (think of water and peoples weight) |
| four forces of flight | lift thrust drag and weight. |
| absolute zero | 0 degrees. |
| newtons first law | An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force |
| newtons 2nd law | Acceleration is produced when a force acts on a mass. |
| newtons third law | For every action there is an equal and opposite re-action |
