Flight and Space

2. Caused by Earth’s gravitational pull on an object.
3. The up or down motion of the nose of the aircraft.
5. Moves the airplane forward. It is is created by propulsion systems, or engines.
6. Created by friction from the air and its resistance to the airplane’s motion.
8. Force= Mass X Acceleration (Newtons ________ Law)
10. Up and down motion of the wings of the aircraft.
11. The part on an airplane that raises and lowers the wings, causing the aircraft to roll.
13. An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force (Newtons ________ Law)

1. The hinged part of the stabilizer on an aircraft that is used to deflect the tail of the plane up and down.
4. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction (Newtons ________ Law)
7. Small moving section at the rear of the stabilizer that helps to control the yawing motion of the aircraft.
9. A side-to-side motion of the nose of the aircraft.
12. Created by differences in air pressure and the movement of air around the airplane.
