When the wind doubles does the pressure in the sails increase 8 times?
When the apparent wind speed is doubled, the pressure on the sail is quadrupled. That is because the pressure on the sail (or the side of your house or a billboard sign) is proportional to the square of the speed of the wind. If the wind speed triples, then the pressure goes up by a factor of nine, because three squared is nine.
What is one wind system you can use to travel around Earth?
Prevailing winds can be used to help navigate ships and sailboats around the Earth by sea.You can sail a ship around this world even against the wind using wind energy. By picking up speed using wind then use kinetic energy gained to sail against the wind direction. So, yes, even with one wind direction we can sail the globe both ways.
Is a measure of cooling combining temperatures and wind speed is called?
This is called chilling effect.
Would a sailor rather sail through the global wind belts or the doldrums and horse latitudes?
In the days of sail, they would obviously want to be in the wind.
Did the lateen sail decrease a sailer's dependence on the force of the wind or on the direction of the wind?
It reduced their dependence on the direction of the wind.
How long does it take a sail boat to sail a certain distance?
It depends on the speed of the vessel, the wind speed, the place and how choppy it is.
How can a sail boat go twice the speed of wind?
it cant
How does shape of sail effect sailboat speed?
the shape dose effect it.
What is Effect of wind speed on Doppler effect?
wind usually increases the Doppler effect, depending on the direction of it you either add it with the source speed or add it with the detector speed. It is definitely not negligible.
How does the speed effect the speed of the sail boat?
The closer to the maximum speed the boat gets the harder it is to increase the speed.
When the wind doubles does the pressure in the sails increase 8 times?
When the apparent wind speed is doubled, the pressure on the sail is quadrupled.

How does wind speed effect cars?
Wind speed may affect cars, effect change to aspects of cars or have an effect upon cars but, to say that wind speed effects cars is most likely a typo. I recommend changing the question.
What is the average speed of a boat?
a sail boat can go twice the speed of the wind in optimal conditions. speedboat 30-40
What has a bigger effect on wind speed temperature or air pressure?
The bigger affect on wind speed is air pressure.
Does wind effect a parachute?
Wind primairly affects a parachute at landing causing turbulance, and where ground speed becomes a factor. If flying a ram air parachute with the wind, your ground speed will be wind speed + canopy speed, so not a good configuration to land. Also, wind causes turbulance, which can collapse a canopy.
How fast does a boat sail?
4x wind speed is so far the best alleged possible.
What affect will a reduction in surface wind speed have on the Coriolis force?
The surface wind speed has no effect on the Coriolis Force. The Coriolis Force is dependant on the rotation of Earth that has the effect on surface wind and not the other way around
