2 Forces in Fluids Bernoulli’s Principle

3 Terms Bernoulli’s Principle~ as the speed of a moving fluid increases, its pressure decreases Lift~ an upward force on an object (such as a wing) caused by differences in pressure above and below the object Thrust~ the forward force produced by an airplane’s engines; thrust opposes drag Drag~ the force that opposes or restricts motion in a fluid; drag opposes thrust

4 Fluid Pressure Decreases as Speed Increases Shower curtain example –The faster the water moves the less pressure it exerts –Creates less pressure in shower than outside shower –The shower curtain is pushed closer toward the stream of water Science in a Sink –Table tennis ball hangs on a string and held next to a moving stream of water –Higher air pressure pushes the ball into the faster moving (lower pressure) water

5 It’s a Bird! It’s a Plane! It’s Bernoulli’s Principle Wing shape plays a role in helping objects fly Faster moving air above the wing causes less pressure than the slower moving air below the wing Causes an upward force called lift

6 Wing Shape Creates Differences in Air Speed

7 Thrust and Wing Size Determine Lift Amount of lift created due to –The size of the wing –Speed air travels around wing –Thrust Relationship between wing size, thrust, and speed –Smaller wings require more thrust and speed Ex. jet –Larger wings require less thrust and speed Ex. glider

8 Thrust and Wing Size Determine Lift Bernoulli’s Principle is for the Birds –Birds with larger wingspans (hawk) need to flap less to stay in the air –Birds with smaller wingspans (sparrow) need to flap much more often

9 Drag Opposes Motion in Fluids Strong winds –Air drags on your clothing and body –Makes it more difficult to move forward Lift reduced when turbulence causes drag Response to turbulence –Flaps change wing shape and increase lift –Birds can adjust wing feathers to increase lift
