Blowing in the Wind (pg 57) by Krista Kamansky

The wind is pushing the sail, the sail isn't pushing back it is moving with it, which is how sails work :) This is because of the fabric is thick enough for wind not to past through and push it.

I think B is correct because they are working together to accelerate.

I think this is correct because the force of the air is pushing against the sail, making it move.

2025-09-23 18:22:29 UTC

C. The air is pushing the sail, because if the wind pulled against the sail the boat would go backwards. Wrong placement

2025-09-23 18:22:38 UTC

The wind is pushing the sail but the sail is not pushing the wind

2025-09-23 18:22:43 UTC

I think this one is the most accurate since the wind doesn't slow down as it hits the sail, the wind just pushes the sail so the boat moves

2025-09-23 18:22:56 UTC

The sail is movable and light so when the air pushes with more force its going to push the sail and the boat.

2025-09-23 18:22:59 UTC

I picked this one because I don't think the sail would push back.

2025-09-23 18:23:04 UTC

The wind is pushing the sail, so the boat moves with the wind - ryder

Yeah I think its c because the air is pushing the sail but its scientifically impossible for the sail to push the wind

2025-09-23 18:23:12 UTC

The sail pushes the wind back with an opposite force that is equal to the wind that pushed the sail

2025-09-23 18:23:20 UTC

C. The air is pushing the sail, because if the wind pulled against the sail the boat would go backwards.

I feel like this is correct because if there were no air then the boat would not be moving

I think C is the correct answer because the air/wind is pushing on the sail giving it movement -Grant

2025-09-23 18:24:36 UTC

the air is pushing on the sail

2025-09-23 18:24:43 UTC

I think this is correct because the force of the wind is pushing the sail making it move.-ODIN

The wind is pushing the sail, not the air-Robert

2025-09-23 18:24:58 UTC

I think its C because the wind is pushing on the sail but the sail is not pushing on the wind because it cant

2025-09-23 18:25:05 UTC

C because the wind pushes the sail which makes the boat move.

The wind is pushing the boat but the sail cant push the boat because it isn't a force

2025-09-23 18:25:34 UTC

The sail pushed the wind back to the forces that move to the wind

2025-09-23 18:26:27 UTC

I think its c because the wind is pushing the sail and that causes the boat to move the way the wind is pushing.

2025-09-23 18:28:03 UTC

I think A because the wind pushes on the sail and the sail pushes back on the wind, which makes the boat move.

2025-09-23 18:28:11 UTC

I think D because the wind is pushing the cloth on the boat to make it accelerate.

2025-09-23 18:28:31 UTC

Explanation: The air force pushes the sail which causes the boat to move since the sail is attached to the boat.

2025-09-23 18:30:00 UTC

I think air pushes the sail and I don't think sail doesn't push the sail cause of the wind.
