A wet towel spread out and hung outside on a day without wind dries faster than an identical wet towel left rolled up in a plastic bag.

Explain why.

Even without wind the sun help evaporate the water so it would dry faster. The other towel is in a bag so the moist and water has nowhere to go, therefor staying in the towel.
