3
THIS AIR MASS CLASSIFICATION REFERS TO COLD DRY AIR CONTINENTAL POLAR RETURN
4
THESE ARE THE THREE BASIC CLOUD TYPES CUMULUS, STRATUS, AND CIRRUS RETURN
5
THESE CLOUDS ARE COMPOSED ENTIRELY OF ICE CRYSTALS CIRRUS (OR CIRROSTRATUS, OR CIRROCUMULUS) RETURN
6
THIS TYPE OF FOG IS FORMS WHEN THE WIND BLOWS MOIST AIR OVER A COLD SURFACE, AND THE SURFACE COOLS THE AIR TO ITS DEW POINT TEMPERATURE ADVECTION FOG RETURN
7
AIRPLANES IN CONTROLLED AIRSPACE MUST BE FLOWN UNDER THESE RULES IF THE CEILING IS BELOW 1,000 FEET AND/OR VISIBILITY IS LESS THAN 3 MILES INSTRUMENT FLIGHT RULES RETURN
8
THE SWIRLING AIR CURRENTS CREATED BY THE AIRCRAFT YOUR PLANE IS FOLLOWING ARE REFERRED TO AS WAKE TURBULENCE RETURN
9
THE THREE STAGES OF A THUNDERSTORM ARE CUMULUS (OR BUILDING), MATURE, AND DISSIPATING RETURN
10
TORNADOES OCCUR MOST OFTEN ON THESE TWO CONTINENTS NORTH AMERICA AND AUSTRALIA RETURN
11
THIS SCIENTIST GAVE US THE LAW OF UNIVERSAL GRAVITATION ISAAC NEWTON RETURN
12
THIS MAN WAS THE FIRST TO USE LIQUID PROPELLANTS AND IS KNOWN AS THE FATHER OF MODERN ROCKETRY ROBERT GODDARD RETURN
13
THIS COUNTRY WAS THE FIRST TO USE ROCKETS AS A WEAPON OF WAR CHINA RETURN
14
THIS INVENTOR WAS THE FIRST TO ADD FLIGHT-STABILIZING GUIDE STICKS TO ROCKETS WILLIAM CONGREVE RETURN
15
THIS IS NOTHING MORE THAN VERY RAPID OXIDATION COMBUSTION RETURN
16
THE SUBSTANCE TO BE OXIDIZED IS KNOWN AS THE REDUCER RETURN
17
THE HEART OF A LIQUID PROPELLANT ROCKET IS CALLED THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER RETURN
18
IF IGNITION IS SPONTANEOUS WHEN THE OXIDIZER AND FUEL COME INTO CONTACT, THE PROPELLANT IS CALLED HYPERGOLIC RETURN
19
THE POINT WHERE AN ORBITING BODY IS CLOSEST TO THE EARTH IS CALLED THE PERIGEE RETURN
20
THIS TERM REFERS TO ANY CLOSED ORBIT THAT IS NOT CIRCULAR ELLIPTICAL RETURN
21
A SPACECRAFT MUST BE ACCELERATED TO AT LEAST THIS SPEED IN ORDER TO ESCAPE THE EARTH’S GRAVITATIONAL INFLUENCE 25,000 MPH RETURN
22
THE STUDY OF THE ARC OR TRAJECTORY FOLLOWED BY A NON-ORBITING BODY IS CALLED BALLISTICS RETURN
23
THE SPACE BETWEEN THE EARTH AND THE MOON IS CALLED CISLUNAR SPACE RETURN
24
THE PART OF THE SUN THAT GIVES OFF LIGHT IS A VERY THIN SHELL CALLED THE PHOTOSPHERE RETURN
25
THE SUN’S DIAMETER IS ALMOST THIS MANY MILES ONE MILLION (ACTUALLY 864,000) RETURN
26
THIS ZONE OF ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE LAYERS IN THE UPPER ATMOSPHERE IS WHERE THE AURORA BOREALIS OCCURS IONOSPHERE RETURN
27
THIS CLOUD TYPE IS ASSOCIATED WITH THUNDER AND LIGHTNING CUMULONIMBUS RETURN
28
A LOCAL DOWNDRAFT ASSOCIATED WITH THUNDERSTORMS IS CALLED A MICROBURST RETURN
29
WARMING OF THE EAST PACIFIC OCEAN IS A WEATHER PHENOMENON CALLED EL NINO RETURN
30
WHEN AN AIRCRAFT IS SUBJECTED TO THIS LEVEL OF AIR TURBULENCE, PASSENGERS MUST WEAR SEAT BELTS, AND UNSECURED OBJECTS TEND TO MOVE ABOUT MODERATE RETURN
31
A HURRICANE WITH WINDS OF 160 MPH WOULD BE CLASSIFIED AS THIS NUMBER ON THE SAFFIR-SIMPSON SCALE 5 RETURN
32
THIS SCALE IS USED TO CLASSIFY THE SEVERITY OF TORNADOES FUJITA-PEARSON TORNADO INTENSITY SCALE RETURN
33
THIS TYPE OF ICE HAS THE APPEARANCE OF FROST AND MAY FORM ON THE SURFACES OF AIRCRAFT FLYING IN STRATUS CLOUDS RIME ICE RETURN
34
PILOTS OF AIRCRAFT APPROACHING TO LAND ON A SNOW-COVERED SURFACE CAN BE SUBJECTED TO THIS CONDITION IF THERE IS ALSO ICE FOG, HAZE, OR BLOWING SNOW WHITE OUT RETURN
35
“TO EVERY ACTION, THERE IS AN EQUAL AND OPPOSITE REACTION” IS NEWTON’S ___ LAW OF MOTION THIRD RETURN
36
THIS ROCKET SYSTEM PROVIDES THE STREAMLINED SHAPE AND CONTAINS THE OTHER SYSTEMS AIRFRAME RETURN
37
THE NUMBER OF POUNDS OF THRUST DELIVERED BY CONCUMING ONE POUND OF PROPELLANT IN ONE SECOND IS REFERRED TO AS SPECIFIC IMPULSE RETURN
38
THIS RUSSIAN SCIENTIST MADE THE FIRST COMPUTATIONS FOR ROCKET FLIGHTS INTO SPACE KONSTANTIN TSIOLKOVSKY RETURN
39
THE SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING OF DEALING WITH STORAGE OF LIQUID OXYGEN AND LIQUID HYDROGEN IS CALLED CRYOGENICS RETURN
40
THESE PARTS OF A ROCKET COMBUSTION CHAMBER ACCELERATE THE HOT GASES TO A HIGH EXIT SPEED THROAT AND NOZZLE RETURN
41
A ROCKET THAT USES BOTH LIQUID AND SOLID PROPELLANTS IN THE SAME ENGINE IS SAID TO USE THIS TYPE OF PROPELLANTS HYBRID RETURN
42
COMMON GUNPOWDER OR A METAL-OXIDIZER MIXTURE SUCH AS MAGNESIUM AND POTASSIUM PERCHLORATE ARE USE TO IGNITE SOLID ROCKETS. THE IGNITERS ARE CALLED SQUIBS RETURN
43
A ROCKET THAT IS SENT STRAIGHT UP TO TAKE MEASUREMENTS IS CALLED A SOUNDING ROCKET RETURN
44
WHEN A COMET IS AT ITS ORBITAL POSITION FARTHEST FROM THE SUN, IT IS SAID TO BE AT APHELION RETURN
45
THIS ELLIPTICAL ORBIT IS TANGENT TO A LOWER AND A HIGHER CIRCULAR ORBIT AND MAY BE USED TO TRANSFER A SPACECRAFT FROM ONE CIRCULAR ORBIT TO THE OTHER HOHMANN TRANSFER ORBIT RETURN
46
IF A SATELLITE’S ORBIT KEEPS IT DIRECTLY ABOVE ONE POINT ON THE EARTH’S SURFACE, THE ORBIT IS CALLED GEOSTATIONARY RETURN
47
CHARGED PARTICLES EMITTED BY THE SUN ARE TRAPPED IN THESE TWO ZONES AROUND THE EARTH VAN ALLEN BELTS RETURN
48
ANOTHER TERM FOR A DISTANCE OF 3.26 LIGHT YEARS IS PARSEC (PARALLAX SECOND) RETURN
49
THIS MILITARY UNIT TRACKS ORBITING DEBRIS THAT MIGHT COLLIDE WITH SPACECRAFT NORTH AMERICAN AIR DEFENSE COMMAND (NORAD) RETURN
50
THIS PART OF THE SUN IS AN AREA OF FAINT WHITE LIGHT THAT EXTENDS FOR 3 OR 4 MILLION MILES ABOVE THE PHOTOSPHERE CORONA RETURN
