      @@montanacreed5826The explanation was correct, the profile of the wing causes air to flow faster over the top, resulting in a lower pressure. The pressure difference between the top and bottom of the wing cause it to be pushed up. You can choose to view it as being pulled up by the lower pressure if you want, but generally because of the way air pressure works it's thought of as pushing in technical terms.

      I hear ya. In middle school sex-Ed, after saying there were no stupid questions, I seriously asked if it was possible to break an erected penis. I got in trouble for being a smart ass. It was an absolute serious question. I have a penis, I'd just like to know. I was like 12. Help a brother out

      ​@adamjenkins190 actually it's a very good question. You were ahead of your time. Nowadays, older men are using Viagra which makes them very hard. But due to aging, can be quite brittle, especially if the woman is on top and loses the run of herself grinding. Is very painful apparently and is becoming more common.

      FYI, this is actually a character from the Charlie Brooker series Newswipe (the guy who wrote Black Mirror). If you want more of this type of thing I would highly recommend it. It's a current affairs comedy thing. There's also Gameswipe and Screenwipe about video games and TV/Cinena. Weekly Wipe which was a more genral one, and Anti-Viral Wipe which was about coronavirus. All of them are brilliant and a very similar style of humour to this. Philomena Cunk was like a parody talking head on them
      Quite a lot of them are on TH-cam.

      well as for aeroplanes...
      imagine a board, a wooden one. Let it be in this position: \, or somewhere beetwen _ and \. If you now punch it horizontally, like this: -> \, it wouldn't go straight horizontally, it would also go upwards. And the more it's to being horizontal, the more up it'll go after a horizontal punch. Easy? Now swap the punching force with the air and board with a wing, and that's the principle behind uptake force

    • @IvanIvanov-ej2wy
      @IvanIvanov-ej2wy ปีที่แล้ว +10

      in a more formal way, when the plane propels forward it hits the air molecules with wings. Then molecules bounce down the \ wing and the wing goes up and backwards due to conservation of momentum. So the plane goes up, forward and backward. Though, the forward force due to engines working is much stronger than backwards force due to air collisions. So the plane goes up and forward
