In a park, Xiomara is sitting on a blanket on the ground while a strong wind is blowing. A short distance away, her friend Leandro is flying a kite. As the wind gets stronger, what happens to the position of Leandro's kite in the sky and the way Xiomara's loose, lightweight scarf reacts?
The strong wind would cause Leandro's kite to rise higher in the sky since kites are designed to lift when wind passes over and under their surfaces, creating a difference in pressure that generates lift. For Xiomara's loose, lightweight scarf, the same wind would cause it to flutter and possibly lift or move in the direction the wind is blowing, away from her body. This happens because the wind exerts force on the scarf, pushing it in the direction the wind is traveling. If not secured, it might even blow away from her entirely.
