Presentation Transcript

  1. Flight:Newton’s Laws in Nature Emerson Middle School

  2. Soaring Flight Wings are stationary as the bird glides

  3. What Forces are there in Flight? Lift (upward force) opposes Weight from gravity

  4. How Do Birds Generate Lift? What do all flying creatures have? Wings What do all flying creatures have? We will examine a section of the wing

  5. Ball Example Building Wall Pushes the Ball Downward

  6. Wing Section Soaring • The wing moves through a fluid: air • Wing pushes air downward • Newton’s 3rd law: Equal and opposite reaction • Air pushes the wing upward: Lift

  7. Newton’s Third Law For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction

  8. The Entire Wing Produces Lift

  9. Constructing Our Own Bird

  10. Which Wing Pushes Air Down Better?

  11. Mimicking Soaring Flight
