• camber

• leading

• trailing

What did aircraft designers use to test models of new aircraft?

According to Newton's second law of motion, an object's acceleration is proportional to the sum of all forces exerted on it. How can you write this law?

• force (f) = mass(m) + acceleration (a) or F=m+a

• force (f) = acceleration(a) / mass(m) or F=a/m

• force(f) = mass(m) x acceleration(a) or F=ma

• force(f) = acceleration(a) - mass(m) or F=a-m

What does Newton's third law state?

• For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction

• For every reaction there is a natural occurring action

• For every force there is pressure

• For every action there is an undetermined reaction
