A Change in the Winds: Studying Bernoulli's Principle

Post by deleted-426131 »

Hi!
This year I started my science fair extremely late and I am running out of time. When I saw this topic I was interested and was ready to start doing it. Now I have done more than half of my report and finished the experiment. But when I came across the "purpose" section of the science fair I was stuck. I can't think of a realistic use of this topic outside of school and in our everyday lives. Is it possible for you guys to help?
Thanks a lot!

Bernoulli's principle can describe how many things work in our everyday lives. I suggest doing some research on how airplane wings or car spoilers work. Bernoulli's principle is also at work in chimneys and a curveball thrown by a pitcher.

For this particular experiment, imagine if the two cans were two ships in a habor with a strong wind blowing between them.

Good luck!
