Lesson 9 Understanding Goals

Subject Matter

  • The pressure in a fluid decreases as the speed of the fluid increases in a steady flow.
  • Lift is possible because air has to travel further over curved surfaces than straight surfaces.

Causality

  • A relational causal model can be used to understand lift and Bernoulli's Principle.
