If you lower the window on a car while moving, an empty plastic bag can sometimes fly out the window. Why does this happen?
Many figures in the text show streamlines. Explain why fluid velocity is greatest where streamlines are closest together. (Hint: Consider the relationship between fluid velocity and the cross-sectional area through which it flows.).
Some chimney pipes have a T-shape, with a crosspiece on top that helps draw up gases whenever there is even a slight breeze. Explain how thisworks in terms of Bernoulli’s principle.
If you took two marbles of different sizes, what would you expect to observe about the relative magnitudes of their terminal velocities?
Roofs are sometimes pushed off vertically during a tropical cyclone, and buildings sometimes explode outward when hit by a tornado. Use Bernoulli’s principle to explain these phenomena.
