Understanding Bernoulli's Principle
Have you ever thought why birds can fly so efficiently in the air?
or likewise the plane?
that movement or phenomenon can be explained by Bernoulli's Principle.
Bernoulli's Principle states that as the speed of a moving fluid increases, thepressure within the fluid decreases.
Therefore, the pressure in a moving fluids depends on its flow velocity (remember fluids = water, air)
A full definition of Bernoulli's Principle is:
IN a steady flow of a fluid, the pressure of the fluid decreases when the velocity of the fluid increases.
Bernoulli's principle is very important as it is used in the design of airplanes, boat hulls, fan blades and cars.
Example of situations that involves Bernoulli' s Principle:
Ping Pong Balls and Funnels
An inverted filter funnel can hold a ping pong ball if you blow air through the funnel, it does not drop down. Thats because the air flows around the ping pong ball at high speed and creating a low-pressured area, the higher atmospheric pressure supports the ball from falling.
