When compared with the air that travels under the planes wing the air that travels over the wing is?
The air that travels over the wing is travelling at a higher velocity and is at a lower pressure than the air travelling under the wing.
How does planes flies?
The airplane is flown by the shape it is in and how much weight, drag and thrust there is. The wind travels over and under the plane to main tain flight.
Does Sound travels faster through liquids and solids?
Sound travels 5 times fast under water then in the air and even faster through solids. For example speed of sound in: Air = 330 m/s Water = 1500 m/s Steel = 6000 m/s
What material can sound energy travel through slowly?
The more closely packed molecules are in a medium, the faster sound travels through the medium, so sound travels slowest through a gas under low pressure.
What principle explains why planes fly?
The Bernoulli Effect, which states that the air moving under the flat plane of a wing's surface is traveling slower than the air traveling over the curved top surface, which creates upward-pressure due to the difference in airspeed. Put your hand out a car window sometime and hold it flat (parallel to the ground) as you travel faster and faster. At normal in-town speed, you will observe little effect, other than the wind moving the hairs on your skin. At highway speed, you will be able to observe the Bernoulli effect in action, as the flat plane of your hand is pressed upward into the faster-moving air.
How do aeroplanes float?
Air moves faster over the top of a wing, and slower under the wing. The faster moving air above the wing has a lower pressure than the slower moving air below the wing. This causes lift, or the tendency for the wing and plane to move upward.
How does being under water affect your hearing?
Sound travels faster under water. Thus when you are under water you can hear sounds OK, but you are unable to discern where the sounds are coming from like you can in air. This is because you ears/brain work out direction by the time delay of sound reaching each ear (your ears are a little distance apart thus sound from one direction hits one ear before the other). Under water because sound travels faster the delay is too short for the brain to distinguish.
Why do divers hear better under water?
Sound travels faster underwater, but this does not mean that divers hear better underwater. It just means that the sound is heard more quickly.
What travels faster through water light or sound?
Light travels faster through anything than sound does.Light also travels through a few things that sound can't.Light is around 150,000 times as fast.
I was skiing down the slope of Mount Bulla and I was going faster and faster. I yelled 'Help' and fell. What causes the acceleration down the slope?
The force of gravity accelerates skiers, skydivers and others who are moving down under its influence.
How does light travel under sea?
Light travels under the sea through rays of sunshine that hit the water. Light only travels a few feet under the sea.
Does air move faster under the wing or above the wing?
above the wing moving faster above the wing causes a lower air pressure relative to below the wing. high pressure moves to low pressure causing lift.
