100
This force keeps a plane from flying forwards
What is drag
100
This is the part of the plane at the front where the propeller attaches to it.
What is the spinner?
100
The ping pong balls floated in mid air thanks to this principle (or "effect")
What is the Bernoulli Effect?
100
This is when a plane turns left to right, or right to left.
What is yaw?
100
The angle of a plane wing is called this.
What is "the angle of attack?"
200
This force keeps a plane from going up.
What is gravity.
200
This is the part of the plane which includes the wheels.
What is the landing gear?
200
When you built your own wing, it had to overcome this force in order to lift.
What is gravity?
200
This is when a plane moves up or down.
What is pitch?
200
When a plane slows down enough that the wing can no longer support flight, it is called this.
What is a stall?
300
This force is directly opposed to gravity.
What is lift.
300
This part of the plane is near the front,in between the wind shield and the propeller.
What is the cowel?
300
The balloon rockets were designed to overcome the following force.
What is drag?
300
This is when a plane spins around.
What is roll?
300
This is the last name of a famous scientist who discovered lift due to changes in air pressure.
What is Bernoulli?
400
When the four forces are balanced, this happens.
What is flight?
400
This is the "body" of a plane.
What is the fuselage?
400
During the helicopter experiment, what force pulled the helicopters down to the bottom of the stairs?
What is gravity?
400
These two movements work together to help a plane turn.
What are yaw and roll?
400
A plane needs this substance (thing) in order to fly.
What is air?
500
This force moves the plane in an upwards direction.
What is lift?
500
This keeps the plane flying straight up and down.
What is the vertical stabilizer?
500
When blowing on ping pong balls in funnels, the balls were sucked into the funnels because of this a change in this.
What is air pressure?
500
This movement is the same word as what baseball players sometimes do.
What is pitch?
500
The faster a plane moves, the more of this it can create.
What is lift?
