This allows the driver to increase the down force on the rear wheels while turning to increase traction. Additionally the wing is used to increase drag during braking. The wing is stabilized in the lateral direction with a link arm utilizing spherical rod ends at each end. While cornering the link arm failed, causing a tire to blow out. Stress Analysis An important factor to determine is how much stress the stabilizing link needs to withstand.
FOR A MOMENT, THINK OF AN AIRPLANE MOVING FROM LEFT TO RIGHT AND THE FLOW OF AIR MOVING FROM RIGHT TO LEFT. THE WEIGHT OR FORCE DUE TO GRAVITY PULLS DOWN ON THE PLANE OPPOSING THE LIFT CREATED BY AIR FLOWING OVER THE WING. THRUST IS GENERATED BY THE PROPELLER AND OPPOSES DRAG CAUSED BY AIR RESISTANCE TO THE AIRPLANE. DURING TAKE OFF, THRUST MUST BE GREATER THAN DRAG AND LIFT MUST BE GREATER THAN WEIGHT SO THAT THE AIRPLANE CAN BECOME AIRBORNE. FOR LANDING THRUST MUST BE LESS THAN DRAG, AND LIFT MUST BE LESS THAN WEIGHT.
There are also filters that take carbon dioxide out of the air. Did you see the movie Apollo 13? One of the biggest dangers for them was that their oxygen tank exploded, and their carbon dioxide filters were clogging up! How and what do astronauts eat in space? My friend Ron was an astronaut who rode on two shuttle missions.
The Spacecraft controls the telescope, supplies power to the instruments and handles its data, and communicates with Earth. The Cryogenic Telescope must be simultaneously warm and cold to function. Everything must be cooled to only a few degrees above absolute zero, this is achieved with the onboard tank of liquid helium. Spitzer is the largest infrared telescope to be launched into space. Goals: The main goal of this mission was to gain a new kind of understanding about space by viewing it through infrared radiation.
They are, thrust, the forward motion or speed of the paper airplane, for our paper airplanes this is provided by your throwing the plane forward. Second is drag, which is the resistance of the aircraft against the wind. Third is gravity, the force that pulls down all things on the Earth. To alleviate this force an object needs to become light in weight. Last is lift, where the push of the wind under the wing is greater than the push on top of the wings.
The Air Quality Monitor seperates different gasses in smokestacks and determins the amount of gases present so as to meet the smokestack emission requirements. NASA has also influenced our transportaion. A few of the benefits accosiated with these are: Aids to schoolbus design, better brakes, studless winter tires and improved aircraft engines. The school bus;s chassis was redone with NASA technology., making the vehicle safer in the event of an accident. Brakes have been improved with high temperature composite space material that helps improve the lining and strength.
The latest simulators for the F-22 and F-35 have highly developed tools that help in the training of pilots on tasks such as air-to-air combat, v visual identification, offensive/defensive basic flight maneuvers (O/D BFM) and aerial refueling. Whereas some pilots have cited the existence of some element of mismatch between what simulators teach and the actual field experience, the simulator developed for the F-22 and the F-35 has attracted the endorsement of pilots who argue that the advanced simulator is significantly closer to actual field experience than that of legacy training systems (Sepanski, & Killingsworth,
NASA technology also has been adapted for many non-aerospace uses by the private sector. NASA remains a leading force in scientific research and in stimulating public interest in aerospace exploration, as well as science and technology in general. Perhaps more importantly, our exploration of space has taught us to view Earth, ourselves, and the universe in a new way. Every aircraft utilizes technology pioneered by NASA. New industries have been built on space technology, including personal computers, advanced medical equipment, communications satellites, weather forecasting and natural resource mapping.
4- We measured the rockets range using a measuring tape. 5- Record the rockets range on the “varying wing size “ complete the data sheet, including calculating the average range for each wing size. 6- Analyze the data generated from the launches and write a conclusion explaning how the difference in wing size affects the rocket that achieved the greatest range. Data table – Size ~ Wingspan ~ Launch Rocket A- Small ~ 2mm ~ 533 Rocket B- Medium ~ 4mm ~ 376 Rocket C- Large ~ 5mm ~
The light has certain qualities that give information such as intensity (brightness) and color. The intensity gives an idea of the number of light waves. The color can measure the energy in each photon (an elementary particle with electromagnetic radiation.). Astronauts study many of the things astronomers do. Astronauts usually have a career in either piloting or being a scientist.
