Vocabulary
1. Transcribe the words:
thrust, artificially, aeronautical, strength, inequality, aerodynamical, perpendicular, axis, propulsion
2. Match the words from the texts (1-10) with the definitions (A-J):
| gravity | A | the things carried by a vehicle with scientific instruments and crew | |
| drag | B | the pressure of air that keeps something such as an aircraft up in the air | |
| lift | C | the reaction force that pushes an aircraft forward | |
| thrust | D | flight path | |
| force | E | the force of air that pushes against an aircraft or a vehicle that is moving forward | |
| weight | F | the height of an object or place above the sea | |
| altitude | G | how heavy something is when you measure it | |
| heading | H | the rate at which an object changes position | |
| velocity | I | a force that pulls objects | |
| payload | J | a push or pull t that causes, accelerates, or stops the motion of objects |
3. Explain in English and then translate the following words and expressions into Russian:
straight and-level unaccelerated flight, the pace of aeronautical development, to counterbalance these natural forces, the drag is supporting part of the weight
4. Match the words from the texts (1-5) with their synonyms (A-E):
| inherent | A | keep | |
| retardation | B | essential | |
| maintain | C | impressive | |
| dramatic | D | deceleration | |
| rearward | E | backward |
5. Find in the texts the English equivalents for the following expressions:
(1) для преодоления силы тяжести и сопротивления, (2) позволяет самолету летать, (3) аэродинамика самолета, (4) рассчитываются отдельно, (5) примерно в десять раз больше сопротивления, (6) в последующие десятилетия, (7) создание искусственных сил, (8) уравновесить природные силы, (9) комбинация двигателя и винта, (10) координированный полет с постоянной высотой и направлением, (11) любое неравенство между подъемной силой и силой тяжести, (12) самолет набирает высоту или снижается, (13) размер и тип двигательной системы, (14) выбранный во время полета, (15) относительная скорость ветра.
6. Complete the text with the words from the box
Forces
| push amount | forces motion | accelerate Scientists | opposite speed |
| direction | zipper | engines | pull |
How do you make something (1)? How do you make it move, change its (2) or (3) or stop? You give it a (4) or a (5). Pushes and pulls are examples of what scientists call (6). When you pull (7) at the on your jacket, you are using force. (8) designing a Moon rocket have to take into account all the forces that will act on it. These include not only the forces generated by its (9) to make it go, but also other forces that affect its (10), such as gravity. Force is described by the (11) of push or pull. It is also described by the direction of the push or pull. When you push on a door, you are using force in one direction. When you pull on that same door, you are using force in the (12) direction.
7. Answer the following questions. Begin your answers with such introductory phrases as: as far as I know; as far as I remember; to my mind; certainly; it's hard to tell; probably; of course; if I am not mistaken, etc.
1) What forces act upon an airplane in straight- and-level unaccelerated flight?
2) How do birds create both lift and thrust to overcome the natural forces of weight and drag?
3) What forces do wings and engines produce?
4) What will any inequality between lift and weight result in?
5) What will any inequality between thrust and drag result in?
6) What is weight of an airplane determined by?
7) What is weight equal to?
8. Translate the following sentences into English:
1. Подъемная сила, сила сопротивления, сила тяги и вес действуют на самолет в полете.
2. Самолет находится в состоянии равновесия, когда сила тяга и сопротивление равны и противоположны по направлению.
3. Самолет будет продолжать двигаться вперед с той же равномерной скоростью.
4. Если сила тяги или сопротивления становится больше, чем противоположная сила, самолет теряет свое состояние равновесия.
5. Если тяга больше сопротивления, самолет будет ускоряться.
6. Если сопротивление больше тяги, самолет теряет скорость и в конечном итоге снижается.
7. Если подъемная сила больше веса, самолет будет подниматься.
