Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Bernoulli principle explains that when two ships are moving close to each other, regardless of whether they are moving in the same or opposite directions, the velocity of the fluid (in this case, water) between them increases, which decreases the pressure between the ships. This pressure difference can cause the ships to be drawn towards each other, illustrating the Bernoulli effect.
