EAWS Fundamentals of Flight Exam
2026 Questions and Answers
What is Motion? - Correct answer-process of changing place or position; motion is
movement
What are the three types of motion? - Correct answer-linear motion- all parts move
in a straight line
angular motion- body moves in a circular motion
general motion- combination of linear and angular motion
Describe Force - Correct answer-something causing a change in the motion of an
object
Describe Inertia - Correct answer-willingness of an object to stay in constant
motion or rest
Describe Acceleration - Correct answer-rate of change of speed with time
Describe Speed - Correct answer-rate of movement in terms of distance in an
allotted amount of time

, Describe Velocity - Correct answer-speed of an object in a given time and direction
Explain Newton's First Law - Correct answer-Inertia; object at rest will stay at rest,
object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an outside force
Explain Newton's Second Law - Correct answer-Force; object moving in a uniform
speed is acted upon by an external force, acceleration will directly reflect amount
of force and transversely reflect mass of the object being moved
Explain Newton's Third Law - Correct answer-Action and Reaction; for every
action there is an equal and opposite reaction
Explain Bernoulli's Principle - Correct answer-fluid flowing through a tube reaches
a constriction, the speed of the fluid increases and pressure decreases
What is Lift? - Correct answer-force acting in an upward direction to support an
aircraft, counteracts weight
What is Weight? - Correct answer-force of gravity acting downward on an aircraft
What is Drag? - Correct answer-force holding the aircraft back, caused by the
disruption of the air on the wings
What is thrust? - Correct answer-developed by the aircraft engine and acts in a
forward motion
