Nia and Jaxon are standing on a rooftop. A strong gust of wind suddenly blows over the edge of the rooftop towards them. Nia is wearing a loose, flowing skirt, and Jaxon is holding his hat in his hand by the brim. What happens to Nia's skirt and Jaxon's hat when the wind reaches them? Provide a very brief response.
Nia's skirt, being loose and flexible, will billow and lift upwards because of the wind blowing beneath it, creating an upward force. The wind acts similarly to how air fills a sail, causing the skirt to puff up away from Nia's legs. Jaxon's hat, if not tightly secured to his hand, will likely be swept away by the wind since he is only holding it by the brim. The force of the wind can easily overcome the light grip and carry the hat off into the air due to its relatively flat shape and the leverage effect when the wind hits the surface area of the hat held out on the brim.
