An aircraft taxiing at a steady speed can be used to demonstrate?
- A.
Bernoulli's principle
- B.
Newton's first law of motion
- C.
Newton's second law of motion
- D.
Newton's third law of motion
Correct Answer
B. Newton's first law of motionExplanation
An aircraft taxiing at a steady speed can be used to demonstrate Newton's first law of motion. Newton's first law states that an object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an external force. In this case, the aircraft is in motion and continues to move at a steady speed unless a force, such as friction or wind resistance, acts upon it.Rate this question:

Which law may you sum up with two words: action and reaction?
- A.
Bernoulli's principle
- B.
Newton's first law of motion
- C.
Newton's second law of motion
- D.
Newton's third law of motion
Correct Answer
D. Newton's third law of motionExplanation
Newton's third law of motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This means that any force exerted on an object will result in an equal force exerted in the opposite direction. In other words, if an object pushes or pulls on another object, the second object will push or pull back with the same amount of force. This law can be summed up with the words "action" and "reaction" because it describes the relationship between the two forces.Rate this question:

- C.
46 percent
- D.
52 percent
Correct Answer
D. 52 percentExplanation
The correct answer is 52 percent. The reduction gearbox on an F100-PW-220 engine reduces the speed between the main fuel gear pump and the engine-driven main gearbox by 52 percent. This reduction in speed is necessary to optimize the engine's performance and ensure that the fuel is delivered at the appropriate rate to the engine.Rate this question:

To cause an accessory in a jet engine to operate at its most optimum speed, design engineers must?
- A.
Change the gear ratio
- B.
Change the govenor settings
- C.
Install an additional set of drive gears
- D.
Adjust the operating speed of the engine
Correct Answer
A. Change the gear ratioExplanation
To cause an accessory in a jet engine to operate at its most optimum speed, design engineers must change the gear ratio. This is because the gear ratio determines the relationship between the speed of the engine and the speed at which the accessory operates. By adjusting the gear ratio, engineers can ensure that the accessory operates at the desired speed, maximizing its efficiency and performance. Changing the governor settings or adjusting the operating speed of the engine may not directly impact the speed of the accessory, while installing an additional set of drive gears may not be necessary if the desired speed can be achieved by simply changing the gear ratio.Rate this question:

On a f108 engine, which component serves as the mechanical coupling between the compressor rotor and the transfer gearbox(TGB)?
- A.
Power take-off (PTO) drive shaft
- B.
Accessory gearbocx (AGB)
- C.
Inlet gearbox (IGB)
- D.
Radial drive shaft
Correct Answer
C. Inlet gearbox (IGB)Explanation
The correct answer is the inlet gearbox (IGB). The inlet gearbox serves as the mechanical coupling between the compressor rotor and the transfer gearbox (TGB) in an F108 engine. It is responsible for transmitting power from the compressor rotor to the TGB, allowing for the transfer of power and torque between the two components. The other options, such as the power take-off (PTO) drive shaft, accessory gearbox (AGB), and radial drive shaft, do not serve this specific function in the engine.Rate this question:
