Imagine a paper airplane, when you throw it, it soars through the air. That’s because of lift, like a magic force that helps planes stay in the sky. The shape of the wings and how fast they move create this lift. When the plane moves forward, air flows over the top of the wing faster than under it, making the pressure above lower than below. This pushes the plane up, keeping it from falling down.
Examples
- A paper airplane soars because of the shape of its wings.
- Bicycles can float slightly in the air if you move quickly enough.
- When you open a door, the wind pushes it outward, similar to how planes fly.
