6.
How does Bernoulli's principle explain how airplanes fly?
A)Air pressure is greater on the top of the wings, creating lift.
B)The backward force exerted by an engine creates an equal and opposite push, resulting in lift.
C)Air pressure is greater below the wings, creating lift.
D)The air pressure on top of the wing is equal and opposite to the air pressure on the bottom, creating a balanced upward force.
