Isaac Newton is sitting under an apple tree. Suddenly, an apple falls from the tree and hits him on the head. What force caused this?
Gravity

What kind of area should you fly a drone in? (describe the weather and place)
It should be an open area with suitable wind speeds
300
What part of a drone controls the movement of it?
The propellers are responsible for a drone's rotation, tilt, and lift.

History question!
When did rocketry first start and where?
Sometime during the 12 to early 13th century in China.

How do you install a package? What is the installer command called and what does it stand for?
It is PIP and it stands for Preferred Installer Program. You can use pip install [package name]

What is Newton's 3rd law of motion?
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction
300
What kind of situations should you land a drone in? List at least 3.
Discretion advised.
examples:
1. Bad weather
2. Unsafe conditions (people or animals nearby, lamp pole with wires nearby)
3. Losing control, out of range of sight, etc.

How would a drone move to the right? Can you describe the rotation of the propellers?
It would tilt to the write/the propellers on the left would spin faster.

What part of a rocket maintains stability?
The fins

When a car suddenly stops, passengers who are not wearing seat belts are thrown forward. This is an example of which of Newton's laws?
Newton's first law - An object at rest remains at rest, or if in motion, remains in motion at a constant velocity unless acted on by a net external force.

What would happen if propellers 1 and 3 started to spin slower?
The drone would rotate

stream = camera_stream.frame
cv2.imshow("frame", stream)
