Car wing=Car Being Blown in Wind?
Well, I got to thinking... What if the very forces involved with the wing of an airplane, go to the car being blown away in the wind in a tornado of hurricane?
The reason I think this is, the wind pressure on the top of the wing, is lower. But the part under it is higher. So I was wondering, if it wasn't the force of the wind that was blowing cars away in the wind, but the low pressure behind the car.
When the wind hits the front of the car, the pressure increases, much like the shape of the wing. But when it gets to the back of the car, the flat-ish surface of the back creates drag, which is just a low pressure area, so that would make a slight SLIGHT, vacuum. So with the high pressure in the front, and the low pressure/partial vacuum in the back, could that be enough force to pull the car back, instead of the sheer wind force just pushing the car back? Please leave your questions and comments in the replies. Oh, and also in the poll if this is true or not.
Thanks,
