An F2 tornado (the F standing for Fujita) is a relatively strong tornado with estimated winds of 113-157 mph (182-253 km/h). It is the third category on the Fujita scale, which rates tornadoes from F0 to F5 based on the severity of the damage they cause. A typical F2 tornado will tear the roofs from most houses, completely demolish mobile homes, and lift small cars off the ground.
An F2 on the Fujita scale is equivalent to a T4 or T5 on the TORRO scale.
In the United States the F2 category has been replaced by EF2 on the Enhanced Fujita scale with estimated winds of 111-135 mph (179-217 km/h). Scientists believe this wind estimated to be more accurate.

Is a tornado a force?
A tornado is often described as a "force of nature" but in physics it is not a distinct force. Several forces are in operation in and around a tornado.
Is a tornado heavy?
Not really. The winds of a tornado carry an enormous amount of force, but the tornado itself is composed almost entirely of air.
The most important force operating in a tornado?
Pressure Gradient Force. which drives the destructive winds.
What 2 fronts can cause a tornado?
cold and warm fronts can cause a tornado
How the force of power of a tornado measured?
The intensity of a tornado is determined by damage, wchi is used to estimate wind speed and assign it a rating from EF0 (weakest) to EF5 (strongest)
Is a tornado a force?

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!
Where does the force of a tornado comes from?
gay
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 are gale tornado?
"Gale tornado" is a descriptive term for a tornado rated F0 on the Fujita scale. Such a tornado was estimated to have had winds of less than hurricane force.
Is a tornado destructive or constructive force?
destructive
Is a tornado heavy?
Not really. The winds of a tornado carry an enormous amount of force, but the tornado itself is composed almost entirely of air.
Is there any force in a tornado?
Yes. The winds of a tornado carry an enormous amount of force. That is why they are so destructive. The winds themselves are driven by a pressure gradient.
How can you stop a tornado?
There is no known way to stop a tornado.You cannot stop a tornado. It is a force of nature.
Where did the McConnel Air Force Base tornado form?
If you mean the tornado that struck McConnel Air Force bas on April 26, 1991, that tornado first form south of the town of Clearwater, Kansas and moved northeast to the Air Force base. After striking the base the tornado continued traveling northeast, intensifying as it did so, eventually moving through Andover at peak intensity as an F5 tornado.
The most important force operating in a tornado?
Pressure Gradient Force. which drives the destructive winds.
Can a tornado lift a battle tank?
yes it can ut the tornado has to be a big one like a force 5 battle tank
