Aerospace Engineering

What does the science of aerodynamics study?

• the weight of objects
• The movement of air around objects, like cars and airplanes
• the study of speed
• the study of NASCAR

What are three key aerodynamics principles?

• Acceleration, height, and motion
• speed, weight, height
• Drag, downforce, and drafting
• drag, push, pull

What is air pressure?

• Air pushes cause a car to flip over.
• force caused by the weight of air molecules pushing against an object’s surface.
• Air pulls a car along on a windy day.
• Air can make a car fly.

True or false? Fast-moving air causes low air pressure, and slow-moving air creates high air pressure.

• True
• False

"The more cars that are grouped in a drafting formation, the faster they all will go." Drafting is an example of:

• Brayton's principle that an increase in 7th graders will result in a rise of office referrals.
• Bernie Sanders's principle which states that a rise in wages will also be accompanied by a rise in consumer spending.
• Bernoulli's principle says that a fall in pressure in a flowing fluid must always be accompanied by an increase in the speed
• Bernoulli's principle which states that a rise in pressure in a flowing fluid must always be accompanied by an increase in the speed

What are the four forces of flight?

• A. lift, weight, thrust and drag
• B. up, down, faster and slower

What is thrust?

• The push that moves something forward.
• The shape of an airplane's wing.
• The weight of an object.
• A shape that produces lift.

What motion occurs on the Lateral axis?

• Pitch
• Roll
• Sway
• Yaw
