Physics and flight
What are the three axes of movement
Roll, Pitch, and Yaw
Do gliders need fuel
No.
Can buoyancy occur in things like gasses?
Yes
What heats the air inside of a hot air balloon
The burner
What is your teacher's name
Justin
What are the four forces affecting flight
Lift, drag, thrust, and weight
What are thermals?
Columns of rising warm air.
Do all light objects have a high buoyancy
No.
Remember that things like Pebbles are very light but can still sink
Why is the air inside of the balloon lighter
The air inside is heated
The Wright Brothers
Explain Bernoulli's principle (some leniency)
Something along these lines: Bernoulli's principle says that in a moving fluid (like air or water), faster-moving fluids exert less pressure than slower-moving fluids. So, if you have a stream of air or water, the places where it moves faster will have lower pressure. This principle helps explain how airplanes can stay up in the sky and why things like balls can curve when they're kicked or thrown.
What do pilots use as an indicator of thermals
Cumulus clouds or dust devils
What decides how much buoyancy an item has
How much gas or liquid it pushes or displaces
What part of the Hot Air Balloon allows hot air to release
The Parachute Valve
What was the first plane to break the sound barrier
The Bell X-1 on 10/14/1947
How can Newton's first law be applied to flight
In maintaining constant velocity and direction
When does wave lift occur
when wind flow over mountain ranges
What did Archimedes say when he discovered Archimedes' Principle
Eureka
Who launched the first hot air balloon
The Montgolfier brothers did it on November 21, 1783
Who is the "Fastest Man on Earth"
John Paul Stapp
An Air Force medical researcher that experienced 46.2 G's on a rocket powered sled
What is the angle between the chord and the line of the wing and the oncoming air
The Angle of Attack
How do gliders reduce drag
they have a lightweight and streamlined design
According to the video why can a ship float
While the ship is very heavy it is also very large and hollow making it lighter than the water it displaces
Who made a hydrogen-filled hot air balloon
The Robert brothers
Who was the first female pilot
Raymonde de Laroche
A french woman who becomes the first female pilot in 1910
