The water in a drinking straw does not drip out when you press te top of the straw with your thumb or finger tip?
It's a matter of air pressure that acts on the water. When the straw is uncovered, there are two forces acting on the water inside. There is gravity, pulling the water down, and air pressure. The pressure is about the same on both ends of the straw, but on the top of the straw, the pressure pushes the water downward, and on the bottom of the straw, the pressure pushes upward. Both of the pressures are the same, so the net force is just the force of gravity pulling the water down and out of the straw. When you cover the top of the straw, you block the air from pushing down on the water. In this case, the only forces on the water are the air pressure pushing up, and gravity pulling down. However, the air pressure is a greater force than gravity, and keeps the water in the straw despite gravity's pull.

My seven yr old asked if gravity play's a role in the movement of grass on the side of a road when a car passes?
A little. Gravity will try to pull every part of the straws down, the wake of the car will try to push them sideways. If a straw is perfectly upright, each part of the straw would be perfectly supported by the part underneath. But as the wake of the car push the straw sideways, gravity will then begin to help bending the straw by pulling each part of it down, and this time there's no straw under to help resist gravity.
What role does atmospheric pressure play when someone is drinking a liquid through a straw?
when you drink through a straw you remove some of the air in the straw. because there is less air the pressure of the straw is reduced. but the atmospheric pressure on the surface of the liquid remains the same. henceforth how it helps you drink
