Aircraft
Motion (Level 2) Problems
If so instructed by your teacher, print out a worksheet page for these problems.
Beginner's Guide to Aerodynamics is a "textbook" of information prepared at NASA Glenn Research Center to help you better understand aerodynamics. Click Beginner's Guide Index to access the list of slides. Open the slide called Aircraft Motion (with text) and read the explanation on Newton's Second Law and how it applies to the motion of an airplane. Then using the information shown below, complete the problems designed to demonstrate your ability to complete calculations involving the motion of an airplane. You are the pilot of an airplane sent to drop supplies to victims of an accident that are stranded on a small island. The plane's altitude is always 500 meters and your speed is 89.61 m/s.
