FAA Aviation Physics Question Bank
with Correct Answers 100% Pass
What is meant by matter? - ✔✔Anything that occupies space and has weight
The boiling point of a given liquid varies - ✔✔Directly with pressure
How do you calculate work? - ✔✔Work is calculated as Work = Force x Distance
if a double acting actuating cylinder in a 3,000 psi system has a piston with a surface
area of 3 sq in on the extension side, and a rod with a cross section area of 1 sq in
attached to the piston on the other side, approximately how much force will the
actuator be able to produce when retracting? - ✔✔6,000 pounds
2 sq in x 3,000 psi = 6,000 pounds of force
What are the 3 basic physical states in which matter can exist? - ✔✔Solid, liquid, gas
How much work did Lindsay do when she applied a 5 N force to a shopping cart at
Thom Thumb for 16 meters? (Show work, don't forget units) - ✔✔Work = Force x
Distance Work = 5 x 16 Work = 90 joules
