Solving Problem

Figure 3.6 (a) shows the situation of a sheet of paper before and when air is blown.
Figure 3.6 (b) shows the situation of the canopy before the lorry moves and when the moves at
high speed.

(a) What is meant by speed? [1m]

(b) Base on figure 3.6(a) and 3.6(b) :

(i) state two similarities for the situation in figure 3.6(a) and 3.6(b) [2m]
(ii) Compare the air pressure above and below the paper when air is blown [1m]
(iii) Relate the speed of the air to the pressure of the air. [1m]

(c) Name the principle involved in (b)(iii). [1m]

(d) Figure 3.6(c) shows an instrument used to measure the speed of the air.

(i) Compare the speed of air at P and Q [1m]

(ii) Mark the water levels in the U-tube in figure above while air flows. [1m]
