Airfoils

Airplane wings use airfoils to stay aloftCars use spoilers to keep the rear wheels

on the road at high speeds.

Curve Balls

The pitcher makes the ball spin fast, causing the air speed to be greater on one side of the

ball. This difference in air pressure produces a net force toward the lower-pressure side and curves the ball.
