anemometer is the device used to measure wind speed .There different type of Anemometers . There is one with rotating axel which is designed with cups shaped blades placed on the axel to rotate it
. Another is that uses pressure difference to measure speed and are in shape of flat plates . These plates a have spring balancing the pressure differences between tail and head.

What device is used to determine the direction and wind speed of a tornado?
The speed and direction of a tornado can be determined using Doppler radar by measuring how far the tornado moves between sweeps and in what direction.
What is the overall rate of speed an object moves?
speedIn physics:If the direction doesn't matter, the word "speed" is used.If the direction DOES matter, the word "velocity" is used.
What is a device used to tell wind direction?
The anemometer measures wind speed. A weather vane tells wind direction.
The main difference between speed and velocity?
The main difference between speed and velocity involves direction. Velocity involves an object moving in a particular direction.
What instrument is used to measure wind direction at airports?
The wind direction is measured with wind vanes or wind socks. The wind speed is measured with an anemometer.
What devices were used for navigation in the past?
The sun and the stars. Dead reckoning was used all the time. Dead reckoning is when you know the direction you are heading, the speed you are going and the time traveled. With these you would know where you are at any given time and even project where you should be at a given time. They needed to keep track of wind direction and current speed and direction to make adjustments to their course.
The difference in speed and velocity is that a measure of velocity must include?
In the study of kinematics, 'acceleration' means any change in the speed or direction of motion.
What are units can be used to describe vector quantities?
speed and direction
What diagram is used to show wind speed and direction?
anemometer
What measurement is used for wind?
- speed of the wind - direction of the wind
What device is used to determine the direction and wind speed of a tornado?
The speed and direction of a tornado can be determined using Doppler radar by measuring how far the tornado moves between sweeps and in what direction.
What kind of port is used for high-speed multimedia devices such as digital camcorders?
You can use the FireWire port for high-speed multimedia devices.
What port is used for high-speed multimedia devices such as digital camcorders?
FireWire
Which kind of slot is typically used to support low-speed devices?
ISA
What is used to adjust for the speed differential between adjacent devices?
using buffer
What distinguishes the speed of an object from its velocity?
As used in physics, "speed" is just how fast something moves, without considering the direction; whereas "velocity" also considers the direction. In other words, speed is a scalar, while velocity is a vector.
Does average velocity have a direction associated with it?
The term "velocity", as used in physics, DOES have an associated direction. Most derived terms, such as "average velocity", also do.
