Which principle explains how airplanes generate lift?
A
Bernoulli's Principle
B
Pascal's Principle
C
Archimedes' Principle
D
Newton's First Law
Correct Answer: Option A — Bernoulli's Principle
Explanation:
Bernoulli's Principle explains that faster-moving air over the curved upper surface of a wing creates lower pressure compared to the slower air beneath it, generating lift. This pressure difference, combined with airflow deflection, allows airplanes to fly.
