How fast can wind in a thunderstorm go?
the AVERAGE speed of a thunderstorm is 30-35 mph. But some tend to go overboard and go 60 mph
If a person wants to calculate how far away a thunderstorm is why do they start counting after they have seen the lightening and not after they hear thunder?
It takes time for the sound of the thunder to travel from the location of the actual lightning bolt to where you are. The speed of sound is approximately 343 meters/sec, but the speed of light is 300,000km/sec, which explains why you can see it way before you hear it. I'd recommend looking at http://www.myvalleyweather.com/mostpopular/story/How-far-away-is-that-Thunderstorm/gehnIxukS0-8g0uvzwslFw.cspx.
What formula use to get the speed of light?
well... i think that light has a fixed speed (my assumption) 299,792,458 meters per second in a vacuum. But how to calculate the speed of anything is speed = distance/ time To calculate he speed of light you need to know the refractive index (RI) of the medium through which it is travelling. As stated above light has a constant speed in a vacuum, this speed is attenuated by the refractive index of the given medium c/RI
How does the speed light being limited effect a two or three mass barycentre orbits?
You must calculate using the speed of gravity as instantaneous otherwise a balanced moving mass system is no longer balanced and is out of alignment.
What does a flat line on a speed vs time graph mean?
it means the object is moving at a constant speed
Can you use average speed to calculate the speed of an object that is moving at a constant speed?
Yes. If an object is moving at a constant speed the average speed and the constant speed are the same.
How would you calculate the speed at which a thunderstorm cell is moving?
The easiest way it to time its travel past two set points, then its speed is given by [distance / time]. Alternatively, if you can measure its diameter reasonably easily, adapt the above formula to the time it takes to pass over one point.
How do you calculate distance from speed of vehicle?
Speed X journey time. (Time actually moving).
What is the wind speed for a thunderstorm?
The wind speed for a thunderstorm varies by the intensity of the storm. Winds in excess of 58 mph will classify the thunderstorm as a severe one.
What is the speed of a thunderstorm?
3 miles
Why do you need to calculate velocity instead of speed?
Speed and Velocity are two different things . Velocity- "the rate at which an object changes its position." Speed- "How fast an object is moving". To calculate speed and velocity, you first need to calculate distance and time. Velocity is considered to be a more logical term
What is the nature of velocity time graph of a body moving with uniform retardation?
A body moving at a uniform speed may have a uniform velocity, or its velocity could be changing. How could that be? Let's look. The difference between speed and velocity is that velocity is speed.
What two objects with the same velocity must be moving the same?
They would be traveling at the same speed. Two objects moving with the same velocity must be moving in the same direction and at the same speed. The reason for this is because velocity is speed in a specified direction. Another way to say that is to say that velocity is speed with a direction vector. It is a physical quantity with magnitude and direction. Two objects moving with the same speed could be moving toward a head-on collision. Or they could be moving along convergent, divergent or skewed paths. Not so with two objects that have identical velocities. They are moving on the same or on parallel courses, and they are moving at the same speed.
How do you calculate forse on a speed time graph?
If you only have the speed/time graph, you can't calculate force out of it. You could if you also knew the mass of the object that's speeding along, but not with the speed alone.
How do you tell the average of speed?
v= s/t v= speed s=path t=time to calculate the average speed you need the path the object is moving on and the time it took to pass it
What is a speed pulser?
I believe it is like a radar gun (used by the police to clock your speed), but emits soundwave pulses to calculate the speed of a moving motor vehicle. Someone correct me if I'm wrong!
Why friction is independent of speed?
Friction is independent of speed because an object could not be moving and still have so friction.
