Pressure Review

According to Bernoulli's Principle, when the wind speed is high, wind pressure is ________

• high
• low
• not enough information
• None of the above

To generate lift, an airplane wing is angled so the _________ pressure air moves under the wing.

• high

• low

• not enough information

• None of the above

If you blow air between these two balloons, the pressure between the balloons would_________.

• Increase
• Decrease
• Stay the same

The faster a fluid moves, the lower the pressure is in the moving fluid compared to the fluid not moving as fast. This is called

• Archimedes' Principle
• Bernoulli's Principle
• Pascal's Principle
• Vice Principle Snyder

Why is the top of an airplane wing curved?

• To create an area of low pressure above the wing
• To create an area of high pressure above the wing
• To create equal pressure above and below the wing
• To make the wing look really cool

Think about Bernoulli's Principle. What do you think will happen when you have running water next to a shower curtain?

• Curtain goes outward from the shower water

• Curtain goes in towards the shower water

• Curtain stays the same

The design of a wing:

• causes the air above a wing to move faster than the air below the wing
• helps create lift
• creates a low pressure area above the wing
• all of these answers are correct

Air travels  ______________ over the top of a wing.

• faster
• slower 
• doesn't move at all
• the same speed as

a fluid is considered...

• a gas

• a gas and a liquid

• a liquid

• a solid

Which of the below is NOT considered a fluid

• Earth's atmosphere

• Ocean Water

• ketchup

• Ice cubes
