  • 2. 

    Standard sea level temperature is.

    • 20 degrees Celsius.

    • 0 degrees Celsius.

    • 15 degrees Celsius.

    Correct Answer
    A. 15 degrees Celsius.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 15 degrees Celsius because standard sea level temperature is the average temperature at sea level under normal atmospheric conditions. This average temperature is typically around 15 degrees Celsius.

    Density is   

    • Weight / Volume 

    • Volume / mass 

    • Mass / Volume

    Correct Answer
    A. Mass / Volume
    Explanation
    Density is a physical property of a substance and is defined as the mass of the substance divided by its volume. This means that the correct answer is "Mass / Volume". The density of a substance remains constant regardless of the sample size, making it a useful property for identifying and comparing different materials.

    Which does not depend on density of air for its operation.

    • Rocket

    • Kite 

    • Parachute

    Correct Answer
    A. Rocket
    Explanation
    A rocket does not depend on the density of air for its operation because it carries its own oxidizer and fuel, allowing it to operate in the vacuum of space where there is no air. In contrast, a kite relies on the density of air to generate lift, and a parachute relies on air resistance to slow down its descent. Therefore, the correct answer is rocket.

    The millibar is a unit of.

    • Atmospheric temperature.

    • Pressure altitude. 

    • Barometric pressure.

    Correct Answer
    A. Barometric pressure.
    Explanation
    The millibar is a unit of measurement used to quantify barometric pressure. Barometric pressure refers to the pressure exerted by the Earth's atmosphere at a specific location. It is commonly used in weather forecasting and aviation to determine changes in weather patterns and altitude. The millibar scale is based on the metric system and is equal to one-thousandth of a bar, which is a unit of pressure. Therefore, the correct answer is barometric pressure.

    Lapse rate usually refers to.

    • Density.

    • Pressure.

    • Temperature.

    Correct Answer
    A. Temperature.
    Explanation
    Lapse rate refers to the rate at which temperature decreases with an increase in altitude. It is a measure of how the temperature changes vertically in the atmosphere. As one goes higher in the atmosphere, the temperature usually decreases, and this rate of decrease is known as the lapse rate. Therefore, the correct answer is temperature.

  • 7. 

    When the pressure is half of that at sea level, what is the altitude?

    • 12,000 ft.

    • 18,000 ft.

    • 8,000 ft.

    Correct Answer
    A. 18,000 ft.
    Explanation
    When the pressure is half of that at sea level, the altitude is 18,000 ft. This is because as altitude increases, the atmospheric pressure decreases. At sea level, the atmospheric pressure is considered to be 1 atmosphere. When the pressure is half of that, it means that the atmospheric pressure is 0.5 atmospheres. According to the standard atmospheric pressure lapse rate, this corresponds to an altitude of approximately 18,000 ft.

    A. Yee
  • 9. 

    Which of the following factors primarily determines the lift generated by an airplane wing?

    • Air pressure difference between the upper and lower surfaces of the wing.

    • The color of the airplane.

    • The weight of the airplane.

    • The speed of the airplane on the ground

    Correct Answer
    A. Air pressure difference between the upper and lower surfaces of the wing.
    Explanation
    Lift is generated primarily due to the pressure difference between the upper and lower surfaces of an airplane's wing. This difference is created by the wing's shape (airfoil) and its angle of attack, causing air to move faster over the top surface than the bottom surface, resulting in lower pressure above the wing and higher pressure below it. The other factors listed, such as the color of the airplane, the weight of the airplane, and its speed on the ground, do not directly influence the generation of lift.

    At higher altitudes as altitude increases, pressure. ​​​​​​​

    • Decreases at constant rate.

    • Decreases exponentially.

    • Increases exponentially.

    Correct Answer
    A. Increases exponentially.
    Explanation
    As altitude increases, the atmospheric pressure decreases. This decrease in pressure is not constant but rather follows an exponential pattern. The higher the altitude, the faster the pressure decreases. This is because the atmosphere becomes less dense as we move higher up, resulting in a decrease in the number of air molecules and therefore a decrease in pressure.
