Bernoulli's Principle

Front

What is Bernoulli's Principle?

Back

Bernoulli's Principle states that as the speed of a fluid increases, its pressure decreases.

Front

What happens to an airplane wing when the pressure is higher above the wing than below?

Back

The airplane will lift.

Front

What happens to an airplane wing when the pressure is the same above and below?

Back

The airplane will neither lift nor sink.

Front

What is a fluid?

Back

A fluid is a substance that flows and takes the shape of its container.

Front

What direction do objects tend to move in relation to pressure?

Back

Objects tend to move toward areas of lower pressure.

Front

Which of the following is a fluid: air, clay, or a dollar bill?

Back

Air is a fluid.

Front

What is the relationship between fluid speed and pressure according to Bernoulli's Principle?

Back

As fluid speed increases, pressure decreases.

Front

Can liquids be considered fluids?

Back

Yes, liquids are a type of fluid.

Front

What is an example of a fluid in everyday life?

Back

Water is a common example of a fluid.

Front

How does Bernoulli's Principle apply to airplane flight?

Back

It explains how differences in air pressure above and below the wings create lift.
