bernoulli science help?

Question

You are riding in a car on a highway when a large truck, going in yhe same direction as you, speeds by you. Explain, using Bernoulli's principle, why your car is forced toward the truck.

Answer 1

Although scientifically it is far more intricate, to a layman such as myself
I would simply call it SUCTION!


A consequence is that, for horizontal flow, as the speed of a fluid increases, the pressure it exerts decreases.
principle explains the lift of an airplane in motion. As the speed of the plane increases, air flows faster over the curved top of the wing than underneath. The upward pressure exerted by the air under the wing is thus greater than the pressure exerted downward above the wing, resulting in a net upward force, or lift. Race cars use the principle to keep their wheels pressed to the ground as they accelerate.

Answer 2

Do you understand about Bernoulli's principle as it relates to airplane wings? Look that up (it should be easy to find) and you'll see how they relate: airflow creates a vacuum, and air pressure on the other side pushes you toward the vacuum. You'll get it.
