Streamlining

The video discusses the concept of streamlining, highlighting its importance in reducing resistance and increasing speed. It uses examples from both man-made objects like jets, racing cars, and submarines, and natural examples like the Gannet bird. The streamlined design of jets allows air to flow smoothly, reducing air resistance. Similarly, racing cars and submarines are designed to minimize resistance in air and water, respectively. The Gannet bird exemplifies natural streamlining by adopting a torpedo shape to dive efficiently into water, reducing resistance and enabling it to catch fish effectively.
