Is there an equation for the law of conservation of energy?

I really appreciate all the replies, but I'm having a bit of a hard time understanding. Initially, I had the idea that the Bernoulli effect and the Newton action-reaction force were two separate effects, and that both of them add up to produce the total lift for an aircraft. And thus, my...

There is a simulator of an airfoil in flight on a NASA website. http://www.grc.nasa.gov/WWW/K-12/airplane/foil2.html It gives readings of the velocity of air at any point around the wing.

Hi everyone, I read on a website that the Bernoulli's expression can be applied to airplane wings by using the equation: Difference in pressure above and below wing = 1/2 x air density x [(airflow velocity below wing)^2 - (airflow velocity above wing)^2] I tried using it but the...

Lift ! (airplanes) Hello, I am writing a research paper about the lift generated by the wings of an airplane. It is about the extent to which the Bernoulli effect and Newton's laws each contribute to creating lift. I planned on calculating the actual value of the lift generated by each...

Which colleges are well known for having good engineering, physics programs? I'm going to be a senior in high school and I really love physics but I don't think I can get into the top notch universities like Stanford, Caltech, etc. My SAT scores aren't too good (reasoning: 1970, mathII: 700...

Hello, this question is about lift in fixed wing flight (airplanes). Is it possible to calculate separately the lift generated by: - Newton's laws (wings deflecting air particles) - Bernoulli effect (difference in air pressure above and below the wings caused by the shape of the...
