the Bernoulli Principle
What is it?
Bernoulli's Principle is a law of physics that has to do with gasses (such as air) and liquids (like water). It states that when the velocity (speed) of a gas or liquid is increased, its pressure becomes lower.
Give me an example!
When air rushes over the curved top of an aircraft wing, it goes faster than when it passes over the flat bottom of the wing. Therefore, the pressure or force of the air pressing down on the top of the wing becomes less than the force of the air pressing up on the bottom of the wing. The result is lift, one of the Four Forces of Flight.
