Grade 6 Flight Review

When a skydiver uses a parachute, he/she is using which type of force: Lift, weight, drag or thrust?

True or False? Gravity pulls all matter to the centre of the earth

True or False: Air is considered a fluid since it is an invisible gas that flows throughout the air

When air travels faster, does it create higher air pressure or lower air pressure?

Which of the four forces of flight opposes weight?

True or False? Birds tuck in their wings to create drag

True or False? Drag cannot be reduced by using aerodynamics

Name the four forces of flight

Aerodynamic vehicles prevent: thrust, lift, drag, or weight?

True or False? Gravity is the biggest restriction to flying and lifting off the ground

True or False? As a plane takes off, its angle of attack gets to 50 degrees

Bernoulli's Principle helps describe which of the four forces of flight

How can an aircraft overcome excess weight? a) Higher takeoff speed b)longer runway c) this cannot happen d) a + b +lower maximum of altitude, and slower cruising speed

List 2 benefits of aviation
