How does wind affect speed in still air?
Still air means that there is no wind, therefore, no wind-speed.
What is used to express wind speed?
You can express or determine the speed of wind using the Beaufort Wind Scale.
How is wind measures?
in miles per hourThe wind direction is measured with wind vanes or wind socks.The wind speed is measured with an anemometer.The wind direction is measured with wind vanes or wind socks.The wind speed is measured with an anemometer.
Why does Antarctica have wind speeds up to 300Km?
The wind speed you quote is an exaggeration.The top wind speed measured on the continent is just under 200Km per hour. It is caused by the Katabatic winds that fall downhill from the polar plateau, which is about 2,835m above sea level. These winds are caused by gravity and the rotation of the earth.
What can you attach to an anaemometer to to measure the speed of wind?
Anemometer is an instrument to measure the wind speed.
Do objects fall equally?
They fall at the same speed, if there is no outside force acting on it (ie. air resistance, wind etc.)
How fast does snow fall in miles per hour?
it depends upon the speed of wind that you need to factor in diagnolly, but if there is no wind it falls at a nice speed of 1.8799 miles per hour
At what speed will a human fall through the sky?
At the same speed as everythingelse minus the resistance of air/wind depending on how long the human have fallen. 9.82 m/s^2 - wind resistance
An anemometer is used to measure?
An anemometer is used for measuring the speed of wind,
How is speed affected by gravity?
Gravity acts as a barrier and slows it down. However, if you say, jump of a building. When you fall gravity will speed you up and you'll be dead fast. When you fall your speed is about 78mph. But that depends on the height of the building and wind direction.
Why do raindrops fall with a constant speed?
Gravity pushes the rain down at a constant speed. However something simple like wind can affect the rate it falls.
What is wind speed measured in?
Wind Speed Is measured In Knots.No, a wind vane only gives wind direction. Wind speed is measure with an anemometer.
Is a wind vane considered as a wind speed?
No. A wind vane is an instrument that can tell wind speed but not wind direction.
How can you calculate wind speed from zonal wind speed?
wind speed = squrt(u^2+v^2).
What is wind speed measured with?
Wind speed is measured with an anemometer.
How are wind speed and wind direction are measured?
An anemometer measures the wind speed, and a windvan measures wind direction.
How does the wind affect a boat's speed?
By the types of sails that you have. or it could be the wind type or the wind's speed
