Bernoulli's Principle
CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION:
Bernoulli's Principle is a physical phenomenon that was named after the Swiss scientist Daniel Bernoulli who lived during the eighteenth century. Bernoulli studied the relationship of the speed of a fluid and pressure.
The Swiss mathematician and physicist Daniel Bernoulli (1700-1782) discovered the principle that bears his name while conducting experiments concerning an even more fundamental concept: the conservation of energy. This is a law of physics that holds that a system isolated from all outside factors maintains the same total amount of energy, though energy transformations from one form to another take place.

The principle states that "the pressure of a fluid [liquid or gas] decreases as the speed of the fluid increases." Within the same fluid (air in the example of aircraft moving through air), high-speed flow is associated with low pressure, and low-speed flow is associated with high pressure.
OBJECTIVE:
*USE BERNOULLI’S PRINCIPLE TO EXPLAIN HOW THE ENERGY OF A FLUID AND ITS PRESSSURE ARE RELATED.
*EXPLAIN SOME SITUATIONS USING BERNOULLI’S PRINCIPLE.
SCOPE:
*the first fly of airplane
In 1899, after Wilbur Wright had written a letter of request to the Smithsonian Institution for information about flight experiments, the Wright Brothers designed their first aircraft: a small, biplane glider flown as a kite to test their solution for controlling the craft by wing warping. Wing warping is a method of arching the wingtips slightly to control the aircraft's rolling motion and balance.

VORTEX CLIMBER: Researchers at the University of Canterbury can make a robot stick to walls through pressurized air. The non-contact adhesive pad, or air gripper, uses the Bernoulli principle. The feet of the robot don't actually touch the wall but are held 25 micrometers away - about 0.025 mm. Air is squirted out from the feet sideways at high speed, causing a low pressure vortex that creates a...

    Everyday millions of people fly in an airplane but no one person knows who is responsible. The ones who are responsible are the Wright Brothers. On December 17, 1903 the Wright Brothers did the unthinkable, invented the airplane (Wright-Brothers.Org). The airplane is still widely used today and every day. As a result of the invention of the airplane the Wright Brothers forever changed aviation history. The Brothers invented the airplane, officially started the “air race,” and created new technology.…

    Have you ever wondered how trajectory and the pressure in the atmosphere affects the spin of a soccer ball? I don’t really play soccer that much, but I’ve never understood why the ball curves in the air when you kick it. For my science project, I wanted to learn about the pressure in the atmosphere and how it affects a soccer ball in flight. I believe that understanding Bernoulli’s Principle may help to explain why the trajectory affects the spin of a soccer ball.…

    On December 17, 1903, at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, brothers Orville and Wilbur Wright achieved the first sustained flight with a machine that weighed more than air, and with a pilot flying the aircraft. The twelve-second flight, with Orville at the controls, was a revolutionary event in American history. Airplanes were now being manufactured for all sorts of reasons; they were all based on the Kitty Hawk Flyer’s design. The Wright Brothers’ first flight created a whole new world of transportation for both civilian and military purpose.…

    Robert Boyle, a philosopher and theologian, studied the properties of gases in the 17th century. He noticed that gases behave similarly to springs; when compressed or expanded, they tend to ‘spring’ back to their original volume. He published his findings in 1662 in a monograph entitled The Spring of the Air and Its Effects. You will make observations similar to those of Robert Boyle and learn about the relationship between the pressure and volume of an ideal gas.…

    They are probably one of the most important inventions ever. Orville and Wilbur Wright changed history on December 17, 1903 at Kill Devil Hill, right outside of Kitty Hawk, North Carolina (Rosenberg). The Wrights invented the first airplane which aided in the fighting of World War I and created a new form of transportation. The Wright’s began with a four cylinder, eight horsepower, gasoline engine that weighed 152 pounds; which took them six weeks to build.…

    Wilbur and Orville Wright were American inventors and pioneers of aviation. In 1903 the Wright brothers achieved the first powered, sustained and controlled airplane flight; they surpassed their own milestone two years later when they built and flew the first fully practical airplane. The Wright Brothers used intelligence, experience, and intenuity to design their aircraft. From studying Gods creation in the form of birds-flight, they were helped to develop their own creation. Wilbur and Orville Wright changed the world through their invention of the first heavier-than-air flying machine. This invention opened the world for aviation to begin and advance. Airplanes have…

    One person they closely followed was German aviator Otto Lilienthal. After Lilienthal died in a glider crash, the brothers began work on their experiments. Both Wilbur and Orville were determined to develop a successful design. Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, known for its strong winds, became their test center. The two brothers wondered how a pilot must balance an aircraft in the air, just as a bicyclist balances on the road (Engler). They began to create gliders to test their theories. The first two gliders failed to perform as the Wrights had hoped. They began viewing how birds angled their wings for balance and control. The Wrights attempted to duplicate this method developing a concept known as “wing warping” (History.com Staff). Wilbur then resolved to create a wind tunnel in which he could test the best wing shape for an airplane. Soon after, “their third glider became the first fully controllable aircraft, with roll, pitch, and yaw controls” (Engler). With help from Charlie Taylor, the Wright’s mechanic, they were able to design and build a gasoline engine powerful enough to propel an airplane. This extraordinary achievement would one day change the world. At the time, however, these genius brothers still had much to perfect. The 1903 Wright Flyer did actually fly, but it was hard to control. They soon established the world’s first test flight facilities at Huffman Prairie.…

    Ancient atomists failed to realize that a wise, influential being of the physical universe led them to conceive of motion as an innate property of matter. There failed realization of a supreme-being governing the physical universe led the modern atomists to believe that motion was initially unguided and random in its purpose. However, Boyle did not think that motion is neither innate or even random in its purpose, for he believed it was a God-given property of matter which operates in accordance with God-given natural rules.(Journal of Philosophy , Volume 12) Boyle believed that the laws of motion are Divine prescriptions by the reference to which God rules the physical universe and while in accordance with how the phenomena of the world is fashioned. While developing the physical world, Boyle speculates that God divided universal created matter into an infinite number of minute parts that differed in shapes, sizes and determinations of motion. These parts were the basic building blocks of life (corpuscles) of which all things of made of.…
