This depends a lot on the type of vessel you are in. Warning are dispatched in the USA and the UK with winds at 39+ MPH. So 30 mph is not enough for a warning but still not smooth sailing.

How much more damaging is 500 mph wind than a 30 mph wind?

With 300 mph winds destruction would be complete. Well built houses would be completely blown away, and the few trees left standing would be left without bark or branches. At 30 mph nothing significant would happen. At worst a few tree limbs may break.

At what speed does breeze become wind?

The Beaufort Scale is used internationally to standardize estimates of wind speed.There are four grades of breeze, ranging from light to strong, and with air speeds ranging from 4 mph (5.6 - 11 km/h) through to 25 - 30 mph (39 - 49 km/h).Wind covers the range from 31 - 38 mph ( 50 - 61 km/h).Although originally designed for sea use, the modern descriptions also have land descriptors such as "Whole trees in motion. Effort needed to walk against the wind."

Can a 30 mile per hour tornado do a lot of damage?

If you mean a tornado with 30 mph winds, then no. It probably wouldn't even be considered a tornado. A 30 mph wind would move or overturn a few light objects that aren't tied down and maybe break off a few loose twigs from trees. If you mean a tornado traveling at 30 mph, then yes. The forward traveling speed of a tornado does not correspond to its wind speed. A tornado moving at 30 mph could still pack winds over 200 mph and perhaps over 300 mph. A tornado with such winds could destroy entire neighborhoods fairly easily.

An airlift plane can fly at airspeed of 300 mph If there is a wind blowing towards the east at 50 mph what should be the planes compass heading in order for its course to be 30 degrees?

The wind correction angle for a true course of 30 degrees, with an airspeed of 300, with a wind direction of 90, and with a wind speed of 50, is -8.3 degrees. The indicated course must then be 21.7 degrees. CCORRECTION = sin-1 (VWIND sin (CWIND - CACTUAL) / VINDICATED)
