Similar-sounding technical words in Physics

Aero- → air

Hydro- → water

dynamic → study of forces and motion in fluids

foil → shape/surface designed to produce lift or force when fluid flows over it

Streamline → smooth path of fluid particle

If you see foil, think shape;

if you see dynamic, think study of flow; 

if you see streamline, think smooth shape to reduce drag

1. Submarine → Hydrodynamic

2. Kayak → Hydrodynamic & Streamlined

3. Motorcycle → Aerodynamic & Streamlined

4. Javelin → Aerodynamic & Streamlined

5. Airplane wing → Aerofoil (shape), Aerodynamic (motion)
