From Bernoulli's theorem this results in the air above the wing to form a low pressure compared to the air beneath the wing. High pressure moves to low pressure so you get lift

How does Bernoulli's principle work in explaining the lift generated by an airplane wing?

Bernoulli's principle explains how the faster-moving air above an airplane wing creates lower pressure, while slower-moving air below the wing creates higher pressure. This pressure difference generates lift, allowing the airplane to fly.


Why does the air pressure above an airplane wing diff from the pressure below it?

The air pressure above the wing is lower because the air traveling faster over the curved top surface creates lower pressure compared to the slower-moving air below the wing. This pressure difference generates lift, allowing the airplane to fly.


What happens to molecules when heat is added?

When heat is added to molecules, their kinetic energy increases, causing them to move faster and vibrate more vigorously. This increased motion leads to the molecules spreading out and occupying more space, as well as potentially changing state from solid to liquid or liquid to gas, depending on the substance.


Why does the lift on an airplane wing increase as the speed of the airplane increases?

The lift on an airplane wing increases as the speed of the airplane increases due to the Bernoulli's principle. Faster airspeed over the wing creates lower pressure, and higher pressure underneath the wing generates lift. This relationship creates more lift force as airspeed increases.


Why is an airplane able to fly because of bernoullis principal?

That's "principle", not "principal". The idea is that the airplane's wings are shaped in such a way that the air moves faster on the top than on the bottom. As a result - and applying Bernoulli's principle - there is less pressure on the top of the wings.

Does the air above the airplane move faster than the air below the airplane?

That's true for the airplane's wings, when the airplane is flying upright.

What happens when you are in the airplane and the clouds are very low?

When you are in an airplane and the clouds are very low, the pilot might fly above the clouds or make an emergency landing.


Is it true that air above the wing of an airplane travels faster than air below the wing?

Airplane wings are shaped such that the length of a path from the leading edge of a wing to the trailing edge is longer when going over the top than across the bottom. For this reason, air going over the wing must travel faster than air traveling beneath the wing.


When an airplane is ascending is pressure greater above the wings or below the wings?

Faster-moving air across the top of the wing lowers the pressure there. For a plane to ascend, the pressure must be sufficiently lower on top of the wing, and it will be forced upward by the greater pressure below the wing.


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.
