About your professor
100

This term refers to the scale or size of a value, typically expressed in powers of ten, to compare relative differences.

Order of Magnitude 

100

This term describes the condition where an aircraft, when disturbed, neither returns to its original position nor moves further away but remains in the new position.

Neutral Dynamic Stability 

100

It is important to consider how the acceleration of an object is related to the net force acting on it, as described by

Newtons Second Law

100

This is the favorite color of my professor.

Sky Blue

200

In the development of the concept of force, what two terms that have been discussed in other modules are applied?

Direction and Magnitude 

200

This term describes the condition where an aircraft, when disturbed, gradually returns to its original position over time.

Positive Dynamic Stability 

200

This principle explains that an object's velocity will remain constant if no force acts upon it, illustrating the concept that an object will resist changes to its state of motion due to

inertia 

200

This is the second favorite color of my professor

Red

300

This term refers to the established principles that govern the behavior of objects in physics, such as those defined by Newton.

Laws

300

This term refers to the capability of an aircraft to respond effectively to control inputs and execute desired flight performance.

Maneuverability  

300

Daily Double

(only the team that picked this can answer)

What is the professor's favorite football team? 


300

This is the favorite number of my professor

Five (5)

400

This term refers to a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on a body of evidence and repeated testing.

Theory 

400

This term describes the variation of lift forces across the wingspan of an aircraft and its impact on flight stability and performance.

Lift Distributuion 

400

An object will not generate lift if there is no movement of air or other fluids over its surface, highlighting the necessity of this factor.

No Lift

400

This is the favorite fish of my professor (non edible)

Angelfish

500

This term refers to a scientific procedure carried out to test a hypothesis and observe the outcomes.

Experimentation 

500

In the conceptual design phase, it is common to account for the additional force generated at the tail by this simple formula. 

1.05 x weight 

500

A man leaning against the wall and doesn't fall through, why? 

Newtons Third Law 

500

These are the countries my professor has visited.
