Thrust - Thrust for a baseball is dependent upon the amount of force used to throw the ball into the air or to another person. Thrust can be dependent on the amount of the pressure the person exerts on the baseball. ]]> 2017-11-11 16:24:08 UTC https://padlet.com/beckythuffman/g6dm1ydu5zs8/wish/205899776 beckythuffman https://padlet.com/beckythuffman/g6dm1ydu5zs8/wish/205899838 Lift moves the baseball upward.  Lift is dependent upon conditions of the air, object and the difference in speed between the air and object ]]> 2017-11-11 16:24:40 UTC https://padlet.com/beckythuffman/g6dm1ydu5zs8/wish/205899838 beckythuffman https://padlet.com/beckythuffman/g6dm1ydu5zs8/wish/205899967 Drag -  | The force of air against an object is called drag.  The drag slows an object down due to resistance or the force of the air against the object.]]> 2017-11-11 16:26:22 UTC https://padlet.com/beckythuffman/g6dm1ydu5zs8/wish/205899967 beckythuffman https://padlet.com/beckythuffman/g6dm1ydu5zs8/wish/205900043 Weight -  | Force is directed toward the center of earth or center of gravity. Weight is dependent upon the mass of the plane, fuel, people and luggage.  ]]> 2017-11-11 16:27:06 UTC https://padlet.com/beckythuffman/g6dm1ydu5zs8/wish/205900043 beckythuffman https://padlet.com/beckythuffman/g6dm1ydu5zs8/wish/205900098  | Thrust is a force that moves an object such as the airplane forward. The amount of force is dependent upon the type of engine, number of engines and the throttle used to control the engines power.]]> 2017-11-11 16:27:59 UTC https://padlet.com/beckythuffman/g6dm1ydu5zs8/wish/205900098 beckythuffman https://padlet.com/beckythuffman/g6dm1ydu5zs8/wish/205900183 Lift is directed upward and is an opposite force. Lift is generated by the airplanes wings. The lift is generated through the center of pressure.  The center of pressure is where most of the pressure is concentrated ]]> 2017-11-11 16:29:04 UTC https://padlet.com/beckythuffman/g6dm1ydu5zs8/wish/205900183 beckythuffman https://padlet.com/beckythuffman/g6dm1ydu5zs8/wish/205900264 The air the plane is flying through causes resistance against the plane. This force is known as drag. Drag slows an object down ]]> 2017-11-11 16:29:48 UTC https://padlet.com/beckythuffman/g6dm1ydu5zs8/wish/205900264 beckythuffman https://padlet.com/beckythuffman/g6dm1ydu5zs8/wish/205911370 Weight: The magnitude of the weight force depends on the combined mass of all the parts of the rocket. Mass is how much matter is in an object. The weight force is distributed evenly throughout the rocket, but to simplify things we can imagine that it acts on a single point. This imaginary point is known as the center of gravity. ]]> 2017-11-11 18:32:15 UTC https://padlet.com/beckythuffman/g6dm1ydu5zs8/wish/205911370 beckythuffman https://padlet.com/beckythuffman/g6dm1ydu5zs8/wish/205911508 Thrust - Thrust force depends on how much fuel is being ejected from the rocket, and how quickly and powerfully the fuel is exiting the rocket. The more fuel that is ejected, the larger the force of thrust.If fuel is ejected at a higher speed and pressure, this will also increase the thrust. ]]> 2017-11-11 18:33:48 UTC https://padlet.com/beckythuffman/g6dm1ydu5zs8/wish/205911508 beckythuffman https://padlet.com/beckythuffman/g6dm1ydu5zs8/wish/205911622 Lift - Lift is what pushes an object up. Lift is created by the rockets engines and thrust. The magnitude of the lift is dependent upon the size, shape and speed of the rocket. ]]> 2017-11-11 18:35:09 UTC https://padlet.com/beckythuffman/g6dm1ydu5zs8/wish/205911622 beckythuffman https://padlet.com/beckythuffman/g6dm1ydu5zs8/wish/205911724 Drag - Drag is the resistance on the rocket experiences.  Resistance is the forces such as wind speed and the atmosphere conditions or weather. The center of pressure. This is an imaginary point, like the center of gravity. ]]> 2017-11-11 18:36:40 UTC https://padlet.com/beckythuffman/g6dm1ydu5zs8/wish/205911724
