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 would you calculate the speed at which a thunderstrom cell is moving?
Count the time in seconds between a lightning flash and the thunder clap. Five seconds delay equals 1 mile in distance.
If a person in a train moving at high speeds threw a ball straight into the air would the ball continue at the same speed as the thrower or would it travel a different speed?
Assuming the train continues moving at constant speed, the ball would travel at the same speed as the thrower.
What would happen to a boat that was moving upstream at the same speed as the current moving downstream?
The boat would make no progress.
Objects moving at a constant speed in a straight are said to be in?
Objects moving at constant speed in a straight line are said to be in equilibrium. That is there is no force acting on them. If a force was acting there would be aceleration and the velocity would change.
How do you calculate moving charges?
I guess that would depend on what you want to calculate (the charge? the velocity? the average energy of the charges?), and what information is given.

Is it easier to calculate speed or average speed?
I'm sure that average speed would be easier to calculate than instantaneous speed. To calculate average speed, just take the time that it takes to travel between two points, and divide that into the distance between the points.

What would be the shape of a speed time graph of a body moving with variable speed?
If a body is moving with variable speed, then the only thing you can say aboutits speed/time graph is that the graph is not a straight, horizontal line.

Objects moving at constant speed in a straight line are said to be in equilibrium. That is there is no force acting on them. If a force was acting there would be aceleration and the velocity would change.
What is mesured in distance and time?
That would be Speed. Speed is the distance you are going divided by the time it takes. This will calculate the average speed you were traveling.
What would you do after a thunderstorm?
I think the best thing to do after the thunderstorm hide in the small place
Moving at 5 times speed of sound?
An object moving at least five times the speed of sound is moving at hypersonic speed. Hypersonic speed is a speed greater than Mach 5. Aircrafts that can attain this speed are the X-15 rocket planes and Shuttle orbiter.

How would you measure the average speed of a moving person in wrestling?
Put him in sleeper hold and average speed is 0.
What would happen if the moon and earth were moving at the same speed?
There would never be a full moon.
