Let’s Pause for
Questions.
PS2.A: Forces and Motion
What will the students learn?
How aerodynamic forces influence the flight
characteristics of design.
Newton’s second law accurately predicts changes
in the motion of macroscopic objects. (HS-PS2-1)
Lesson Support
Materials
HS-PS2 Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions
HS-PS2-1.
Analyze data to support the claim that
Newton’s second law of motion describes the
mathematical relationship among the net force on a
macroscopic object, its mass, and its acceleration.

describe the flight of a boomerang?
Aerodynamic
lift
Newton’s 2nd
law of motion
Centripetal
force
Gyroscopic
precession

inertia
Boomerang
Math
What happens to L (angular momentum) when
I (moment of inertia) increases and ω (angular
velocity) is constant?
L=Iω
Let’s Pause for
Questions.
Flow Around an Airfoil
Set airfoil angle at 0.0 degrees
Push Velocity, Animation, & Close View buttons
Move the probe to “A” - What is the velocity?
Move the probe to “B” - What is the velocity?
How does velocity of A compare to B?
Change angle to 4.5 degrees.
- What is the value of lift?
What is the velocity on the upper and lower
surface of the foil?
- Which surface has higher velocity?
Push the Pressure button.
- Which surface has higher pressure?
How does this relate to the velocity?
Which surface has higher velocity?
Which surface has higher pressure?
Bernoulli's Principle
Lift Misconception
Equal transit time:
Incorrect airplane wing explanation
1. Push Direction button and change the angle to 4.5
2. Move the yellow particle at both A and B to the rear of
the airfoil
3. Do the particles line up far downstream from the airfoil?
Do the particles line up
far downstream from
the airfoil?
Incorrect airplane wing explanation
