Explanation:
Bernoulli's principle states that an increase in the speed of a fluid occurs simultaneously with a decrease in pressure. Airplane wings (airfoils) are shaped so that air travels faster over the curved top surface than the flat bottom. This creates lower pressure above the wing and higher pressure below, resulting in an upward lift force.
Explanation:
When equal distances are covered with different speeds v1 and v2, the average speed is not the arithmetic mean, but the harmonic mean of the two speeds. Total distance = 2x. Total time = (x/v1) + (x/v2). Average speed = Total Distance / Total Time = 2x / [x(1/v1 + 1/v2)] = 2v1v2 / (v1 + v2).
