3 Air hcan be compressed

#5

What are the 4 forces of flight?

gravity thrust drag lift

2
#1

What is Bernoulli's principle?

fast moving air creates low air pressure

#2

What happens if lift is greater than mass?

the plane ascends

#3

What happens if thrust becomes greater than drag?

the plane goes forward

#4

What happens lift, thrust, drag and mass are equal?

the plane goes at a steady flight

#5

What happens if thrust becomes less than drag?

the plane slows down

3
#1

What happens if lift becomes less than mass?

The plane descends

#2

Describe how a bird gets thrust?

When a bird flaps it's wings it actually pushes the air backwards away from it's path

#3

Describe the shape of a aircrafts wing

airfoil - curved on the top and flat on the bottom

#4

Is there more or less air pressure under the aircraft's wing

more

#5

#3

You and your friend are having a race to see who’s paper will fall to the ground the fastest. You crumple up your paper into a ball and your friend leaves their paper as is. Why does your balled up piece of paper reach the ground first?

It has less drag.

#4

As you drink from a juice box through a straw, the juice moves up the straw because the air pressure is

lowered inside the straw

#5

Place a piece of cardboard on top of a full glass of water. Holding the glass and the cardboard quickly flip the glass upside-down and slowly let go of the cardboard (none of the water escapes). 

 

Which property of air does this experiment show?

Air exerts pressure.

Final Question

If you were to blow air through a straw between two cans, what would happen? Why?

The can's would move together.

 

Bernoulli's Principle states that the fast air between the cans create low pressure. The higher pressure air around the cans pushes the cans together.
