ASSIGNMENT SHEET 2-1-3: BASIC THEORY REVIEW

Description

This lesson is a basic introduction to the theory of aerodynamics. It provides a knowledge base in aerodynamic mathematics, air properties, airspeed and altitude definitions and measurements, airfoil and wing design, and the importance of center of gravity (CG).

Resource summary

Question 1

Question
A moment is ______.
Answer
  • the force with which a mass is attracted toward the center of the earth
  • the result of mass x acceleration
  • a body’s capacity to do work
  • created when a force is applied at some distance from an axis or fulcrum, producing rotation about that point

Question 2

Question
Mass per unit of volume defines which of the following?
Answer
  • Work
  • Play
  • Density
  • Power

Question 3

Question
Potential energy is ______.
Answer
  • the ability of a body to do work due to its motion
  • dependent on mass and velocity
  • a scalar measure of a body’s capacity to do work
  • the ability of a body to do work due to its position or state of being

Question 4

Question
The Law of Interaction states ______.
Answer
  • “For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.”
  • “A body at rest tends to stay at rest.”
  • “Two opposite forces cannot interact.”
  • “An unbalanced force acting upon a body produces an acceleration in the direction of the force that is directly proportional to the force and inversely proportional to the mass of the body.”
