Zephyr and Rowan are standing on a hilltop with a single tree. Zephyr, who is wearing a wide-brimmed hat, stands closer to the tree than Rowan. Suddenly, a strong gust of wind comes from behind them. What happens to Zephyr's hat and Rowan's view of the horizon at that moment? Provide a very brief response.
Zephyr's wide-brimmed hat is likely to be blown off their head by the strong gust of wind because the brim creates a large surface area that the wind can push against, overcoming the friction between the hat and Zephyr's head. Meanwhile, Rowan's view of the horizon temporarily becomes obstructed as Zephyr's hat is blown into the air along the path between Rowan and the horizon. The trajectory of the hat depends on the direction and force of the wind, but it will initially rise and move in the direction the wind is blowing before eventually descending due to gravity.
