If Quincy stands on a hill facing the wind, and he is wearing a loose, light jacket that is unzipped, which direction will the jacket flap when the wind starts blowing? Respond very briefly.
The jacket will flap away from Quincy's body towards the direction the wind is coming from. Since the wind is faced head-on, it will enter the open front of the jacket, filling it with air and causing the jacket to puff out. The force of the wind will push the sides of the jacket backward, away from Quincy's chest and towards his back, making the jacket flap behind him. The behavior of the jacket assumes that the wind is strong enough to overcome the resistance of the material and any friction between the jacket and Quincy's clothing underneath.
