Solid objects like airplanes and birds fly perfectly in the air because they obey the laws of aerodynamics. Do you already know this? Aerodynamics is a new knowledge of the interaction between solid objects flying and the air. This scientific concept is closely associated with fluid mechanics and gas mechanics. Let's take a quiz!

Sample Question
Jocelyn was curious about the air pressure within a volleyball. She decided to place a well stretched balloon onto an inflation needle which she then inserted into a fully inflated volleyball.What did Jocelyn observe? The volume of the balloon will
