Glider

As I said before one of the predators of the greater gliding possums is the owl, and sometimes they might not be able to hunt them but the greater gliders can get hurt. My association would help these gliders who get hurt for any reason. Also some greater gliders might have diseases or infections and my association will help on that. My associations will have volunteers from all over the world who are willing to help. I understand that there are many association…

friction in our experiment. Glider on Frictionless Air Track Lab The acceleration of the glider can be calculated by tracking the speed as it passes through the two photogates. On the frictionless air track a glider is placed on one end of the model while a small weight weighing 50.0 grams dangles on the other end (both connected by a string that runs through a hole). The glider has two flags separated at 1.00 centimeters apart; these make it easier to take the speed of the glider…

tumbleweed which produces a ball like structure around the plant, dropping seeds as it rolls along in the wind. An example of wind dispersal would be dandelions which use the parachute technique. There is also the Alsomitra Macrocarpa which is a glider seed that is said to have inspired the ideas for early aircraft. Finally there is animal dispersal which produces sharp and sticky seeds that can be picked up by furry creatures or a human's shoes, pants, and shirt. The seed is then carried away…

system was set up: a glider with a flag was placed on the air track; it was connected to a hanger with an inextensible string. The airflow was also adjusted such that the glider moves freely with no friction. A photo-gate was also placed onto the air track, and this was connected to the computer program, LoggerPro. When the experimental arrangement was completed, the mass of the glider and flag was determined. For the first trial, no additional weights were added onto the glider + flag or the…

air-cushioned track was set-up for the glider to ride on a pocket of air without being in contact with the metal track. In addition, this glider will have masses attached to it as well as a hanger which will act as part of the same system. The masses in this system will be exchanged between the glider and the hanger. In this case it will stimulate an added force by interchanging the masses; as a result increasing the acceleration. Moreover,…

To say that Wilbur and Orville created the first aircraft is not necessarily true. Gliders and hot air balloons have been around longer than airplanes. The Wright Brothers were the first person to build a "Heavier than air" aircraft. The study of aviation has seriously been studied since the 15th century. Da Vinci was the first person to seriously study aviation. He tried to copy birds with flapping wings. However, humans are not capable of that so Da Vinci created Ornithopters . Leonardo…

experiment with flight. From jumping off a hill and gliding to the bottom, to flying over 600 feet all within about 100 years. Most of the scientists provided good information of flight but then Otto Lilienthal built gliders that improve to fly better. Later in 1896 he flew his glider then crashed and died. None of the scientists could figure out how to control the aircraft. Until Gustave Whitehead who had the first controlled flight flew a half mile. The hardest part of flight was needing to…

The invention of the airplane is most likely the most important innovations in transportation. The airplane industry is enormous; In 2016, the industry generated 501 billion US dollars. The question is why are airplanes so popular. Well, airplanes are able to drastically cut down on travel times. Although the airplane is extremely important for transporting, airplanes do have some drawbacks. For example, airplanes release harmful substances into the atmosphere. The airplane was invented by…

The Wrights went to Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, once a year for about twelve weeks to test theories and to fly gliders. They have completed more than 700 test flights testing their models. Each time they went there, they increased the complexity and size of the gliders; getting closer to the final product. They rented land and built a permanent camp. They followed to footsteps of the past pioneers in regards of the shape of the plane. The…

running their bicycle shop, engineers across the country were experimenting with the idea of flight. A Smithsonian Secretary made an unmanned-steam-powered-fixed-wing model airplane, a Chicago engineer tested a glider over the sand dunes of Lake Michigan, and a man died in Germany testing his glider. The Wright brothers didn’t let this scare them off. They continued putting money aside with hopes of one day starting their own…
