Bernoulli's Principle
100
This is the downward force acting on an airplane.
What is Gravity?
100

Air takes up Space and exerts _____.

What is pressure?

100
This is the direction the plane would go if gravity pulled stronger than lift.
What is down?
100
This the Swiss Mathematician who explained how fluids like water and air flow.
Who is Daniel Bernoulli?
200
This is the upward force acting on an airplane.
What is Lift?
200
Air is composed of different ______.
What are gases?
200
This is the direction the plane would go if gravity was equal to that of lift and thrust was greater than drag.
What is forward?
200
Bernoulli's principle states that faster moving air creates ______ pressure.
What is low?
300
This is the forward force acting on an airplane.
What is Thrust?
300
The hot air balloon explains this property of air.
What is air expands when heated?
300
This is the direction the plane would go if gravity was less than the force of lift and thrust was greater than drag.
What is forwards and upwards?
300
Fast moving air creates a force called ______.
What is Lift?
400
This is the force opposing thrust. It slows the airplane down.
What is Drag?
400
A man-made object that uses the property that hot air expands and rises to create lift.
What is a hot air balloon?
400
This is the directions the plane would go if gravity was greater than the force of lift and thrust was less than drag.
What is backward and downwards?
400
These were made to create lift by causing air to move faster above it than below it.
What are wings?
500
This is the force opposing gravity as a parachute falls to the ground.
What is force of Drag?
500
This is the property of air that causes your ears to pop when you move from high altitudes to low altitudes.
What is air pressure?
500
This is the direction the plane would go if gravity was equal to the force of lift and thrust was equal to the force of drag.
What is nowhere?
500
This is the type of pressure exerted on an airplane's wings from the slow moving air underneath it.
What is High Pressure?
