Our Pal Newton
It is said that Newton penned his first law, after seeing this fruit fall from a tree.
An Apple
If you hold a strip of paper and blow across the top, the paper moves in this direction. (Known as Bernoulli Effect)
Up
This force pulls a plane downward toward the Earth
Force of gravity/weight
The Sun
This is the full name for the ISS.
International Space Station
This describes how a velocity changes over time.
Newton's second law can be expressed as this mathematical equation.
F = m x a
This describes the shape of an airplane wing.
Airfoil
This force acts upward on the airplane's wing.
Lift
This most current spaceflight scheduled to launch in February was put on hold due to repairs required to its Helium system.
Artemis II
Astronauts aboard the ISS arrive back on Earth measurably taller than when they left due to the lack of this force.
Gravity
This is the planet that NASA is targeting to visit in the future.
Mars
Complete Newton's First Law: An object in motion tends to stay in motion and an object at rest tends to stay at rest unless ______________.
Acted on by an outside force.
For a plane in flight, the air above the wing moves _______ than the air below the wing.
Faster/with a higher velocity
This is the force that propels a plane forward in its direction of travel.
Thrust
Rockets must carry this aboard in order to burn fuel.
Oxidizer/Air/Something to help burn
This is the main source of power on the ISS.
Solar Power
This scale is used when testing how basic/acidic a substance is. (Hint: we talked about this during the water Filtration activity)
pH scale
A plane is thrusted forward due to hot gases being discharged from the engine. Name or describe which of Newton's Laws is associated with this scenario.
3rd Law: Equal and opposite reactions
An airplane moving at a constant velocity of 240 m/s for 3 hours has this acceleration.
0 m/s/s
This force is not present for rockets in deep space, but is for airplanes.
Air Resistance/Drag
It would take about this long for humans to get to Mars.
7-10 months
Astronauts aboard the ISS are exposed to this hazard from the sun which causes eyesight to deteriorate.
Radiation
A dirt bike starts moving from rest and gets up to a velocity of 20 m/s in 4 seconds. What was the dirt bike's average acceleration?
5 m/s/s
A hockey puck is pushed and slides across the ice before slowing to a stop. Name or describe Newton's Law that is associated with this scenario.
2nd Law: An object in motion stays in motion unless acted on by an outside force.
These 3 terms describe the motion of an airplane. (Hint: 3 words to describe the 3D motion - starts with letters Y, P, R)
Yaw, Pitch, Roll
For a satellite that wants to orbit Earth, this might happen if there is too much thrust during takeoff.
The rocket will fly past Earth's orbit into space.
The theoretical maximum velocity. (Hint: the fastest speed possible before time starts to dilate)
Speed of Light
This is how astronauts get fresh drinking water.
Recycle all water/moisture on the ship.
This is how many seconds are in a week.
604,800 seconds
