# Air flows over the top of a curved airplane wing faster than it flows underneath. Using Bernoulli’s principle, which statement best explains the resulting aerodynamic lift?

Air flows over the top of a curved airplane wing faster than it flows underneath. Using Bernoulli’s principle, which statement best explains the resulting aerodynamic lift?

- **A.** The higher speed on top results in lower pressure, creating an upward pressure difference.
- **B.** The air underneath is denser, providing more buoyant force.
- **C.** The higher speed on top results in higher pressure, pushing the wing upward.
- **D.** The air on top has more kinetic energy, which directly converts into upward potential energy.
