QUESTION:
What physics principle underlies these three observations? When passing an oncoming truck on the highway, your car tends to sway toward the truck. The canvas roof of a convertible car bulges upward when the car is traveling at high speeds. The windows of older trains sometimes break when a high-speed train passes by on the next track.
ANSWER:Step 1 of 4
Bernoulli’s principle states that where the speed of the fluid increases the initial pressure decreases.
When a car passes by the truck, the air in the side of the car toward the truck moves faster than the air in the other side.
