What kind of force that the tornado have like centripetal force centrifugal force?
Hi, Well the force is centripetal force during a body is initially attacked by the tornado,when the body started swinging in the tornado from the surface of the earth,the time when body covers some distance from downward to upward is the time when centrifugal force is applied.... That means tornado have both the centripetal force and centrifugal force..... Thanks you!
What forces affect the motions of tornadoes?
The primary force at work in a tornado is a pressure gradient force. Pressure inside a tornado is lower than it is outside, which causes the path of any air near it to curve toward the center of the tornado. Slight variations in that pressure can affect how a tornado behaves, which is part of what makes tornadoes so hard to predict.

What kind of force does a tornado have which keeps it to have that funnel shaped wind?
The wind in a tornado moves in a circular fashion as it is pulled inward by the pressure gradient force resulting from the low pressure at the center of the tornado.

What happens when f4 tornado is heading for your house?
If your house is hit by the full force of an F4 (now EF4) tornado it will probably be completely leveled. Even if you escape the worst of it (which can be surprisingly likely depending on the tornado) there will still likely be severe damage. The best place to be in an event like this, or any tornado, is in a storm cellar or basement.
