Would an anamometer work on the moon?
No. The moon has a lack of atmosphere, therefore there is no wind to measure other than the solar wind. I doubt this would register on a standard style anemometer
What are the functions of anemometer?
HistoryThe first anemometer was created by an Italian named Leon Battista Alberti who lived during the Renaissance period from 1404 to 1472. However, the most common type of anemometer was created by Dr. John Thomas Romney Robinson in 1846. It is called a cup anemometer.TypesAnemometers are separated into two different types. Some are for measuring wind velocity and others are for measuring wind pressure. Wind pressure and velocity are related so closely that an anemometer that is designed for one purpose will give information for both.SignificanceMeteorologists can use anemometers to help determine the strength of a storm. Other scientist and climatologists may also use anemometers for a variety of experiments in order to predict future storms or simply to plot a good place for a windmill.ConsiderationsMost anemometers are coupled with other weather measuring tools. Some of the tools used with anemometers are wind socks or weather vanes, which are both used to determine wind direction.Fun FactA simple anemometer can be created using nothing more than a piece of string attached to a ping-pong ball. These balls are very light and move in the wind. If you measure the angle of the ball being moved and compare it to the angle without wind, wind speed can be deduced.
How do you spell pulsoxanometer?
There are no similar words in technology other than pulsimeter (pulse rate measurement) or pulsometer (a steam pump).The reference may be to a technical device called a heat-pulse anemometer, an exotic device also called a thermal anemometer, which measures the velocity of moving air by the heat loss in a heated wire.
Where can you place your anometer and why?
An anemometer should be placed such that is in a laminar flow of air. i.e. free of buildings and trees etc. And not on the peak of the roof where the velocity will be greater than in free space.
What is another name for anemometer?
More definition than name: wind speed indicator.
Do all places on the earth have the same average speed?
Assuming the question is asking about the Earth's rotation, it depends upon how you measure speed. If you measure angular velocity, then yes, every point on earth rotates at the same speed. If you measure linear velocity, then no, points near the equator rotate faster than points near the poles. Still in linear velocity, points at higher altitude rotate slightly faster then points at the bottom of the deep ocean.
Is escape velocity bigger than orbital velocity?
Yes.
What is the measurement unit of sound?
frequency or velocity of sound.add. One measures the intensity (loudness) of sound in decibels dB.Harmonic Distortion is a measure of the frequencies in the sound complex other than the fundamental or original notes.
How do you know something is moving faster than some other object?
Calculate the average velocity for the objects.
Can two direction of velocity of an object change when acceleration is constant?
An object can have only one velocity at any point in time. That velocity can have components in two (or more) directions.If acceleration is constant (but non-zero), then the velocity in any direction other than perpendicular to the direction of the acceleration must change.

What is 130 kph?
It is a measure of speed (kilometres per hour).
