#Bernoulli effect

1 public question tagged with this topic.

Why does blowing over a piece of paper lift it upwards?

Bernoulli’s principle states that faster airflow above the paper reduces pressure, while slower air below maintains higher pressure, creating an upward lift due to the pressure difference. As per NCERT, applying relevant law/formula with correct units and sign convention leads to Due to lower pressure above from faster airflow. This satisfies dimensional consistency and physical conditions given, so option C is scientifically correct.
