Prelim Examination

Absolute honesty and strict discipline such as NO TALKING or GLANCING around are to be observed
during examination.
Examination paper handed in may not be taken back.
Erasure is wrong

I. Identification

1. Means “pertaining to air, aircraft, aviation, or aeronautics”.

2. Is that branch of physics which consider bodies in motion and the forces
that produce or change such motion?
3. meaning “the science relating to the effect produced by air or other gases in
motion”
4. How many percent of oxygen in the atmospheric air?
5. is considered a fluid because it fits the definition of a substance that has the
ability to flow or assume the shape of the container in which it is enclosed
6. The compression of air is called?
7. The standard atmospheric pressure at sea level?
8. Is force applied to an area that results in pressure?
9. used to measure atmospheric pressure
10. Is weight per unit of volume?
11. If the Density increases the pressure?
12. If the density increases the temperature?
13. Is the amount of water vapor in the air?
14. Is the weight of water vapor in a unit volume of air?
15. Is the ratio, in percent, of the moisture actually in the air to the moisture it
would hold if it were saturated at the same temperature and pressure?
16. Is the lowest layer of the atmosphere?
17. The upper boundary of the troposphere is the?
18. For every 1,000 feet of increase in altitude what is the rate of change in
temperature?
19. It contains the ozone layer that protects the earth’s inhabitants from
harmful UV rays.
20. The law of conservation of energy states that energy may neither be
created nor destroyed.
21. The flow of air around an object caused by the movement of either the air
or the object, or both, is called?
22. Is the rate of motion in relation to time?
 23. Is the rate of motion in a particular direction in relation to time?
24. Is defined as the rate of change of velocity.
25. It simply states that a body at rest does not move unless force is applied to
it.
26. State that if a body moving with uniform speed is acted upon by an external
force.
27. Is the law of action and reaction?
28. Is air flowing without obstruction before it engages the aircraft structure?
29. The pressures above atmospheric pressure?
30. The pressure on lower than atmospheric pressure.
31. is that layer of fluid in the immediate vicinity of a bounding surface
32. reduces the local velocities on a surface and accounts for the drag of skin
friction
33. has a fuller velocity profile and has higher local velocities immediately
adjacent to the surface
34. Has the less rapid change of velocity with distance above the surface.
35. Is the shape or outline of an aircraft wing as projected onto a horizontal
plane?
36. The flow of air results in spillage over the wing tip, thereby setting up a
whirlpool of air called a?
37. Is used by aerodynamicists when calculating stability and other design
factors.
38. the width of the wing from the leading edge apex to the trailing edge
39. Is a line depicting the chord which extends forward of the leading edge.
40. is a surface designed to obtain lift from the air through which it moves

II. Solve the ff. Problem (2 points each show your solution)

the surface?
