<em>Ten games</em> will be played.

The first team can be any one of 5 .  For each of those, the opponent can be any one of the other 4 .

Number of ways to pair them up = (5 x 4) = 20 ways .

<em>BUT</em> ... Whether the Reds play the Blues, or the Blues play the Reds, it's the SAME GAME.  Each possible game shows up twice in the list of 20 ways.  So there are really only 10 different pairs ==> <em>10 games</em> .

air passing over an airplanes wing travels ,and therefore exerts pressure.than air traveling beneath the wing.
pickupchik [31]
Bernoulli's principle of laminar/lamellar air flow, I think. High flow speed = low pressure, low flow speed = high pressure I think. So, the wings/aerofoils are designed to induce a low pressure on the top side of the wing and a high pressure on the underside of the wing, thus producing an "aerodynamic upthrust" (a static upthrust comes from an object in water via Archimedes) and LIFT. 

Two "particles" of air one going topside and the other underside meet again at the end of their motion across the wing. So, top side has to travel faster than bottom side. So top side has a lower "dynamic pressure" than underside.

And all that for 5 points ????????? (If I'm right, of course ... )

What is an independent variable ?
seropon [69]
An independent variable is a variable that does not depend on anything. It is manipulated to determine the value of a dependent variable<span>. The dependent variable is what is being measured in an experiment or evaluated in a mathematical equation and the independent variables are the inputs to that measurement. Example: Time would always be an independent variable because nothing affects time, however, time can affect everything. </span>
