What is pressure used for?
Pressure is defined as the force per unit area applied in a direction perpendicular to the surface. The standard unit of pressure is the pascal (Pa). This did not answer my question on how pressure is used.
Which units can velocity be expressed?
(any unit of length) / (any unit of time) is a unit that can be used for the magnitude (size) of velocity, and must always be accompanied by a description of direction. Without it, all you have is a speed, not a velocity.
What units are used to express velocity?
In physics, velocity is most commonly measured in meters per second (m/s). However, you can measure velocity in other units as well.Here are a few more: feet per second (ft/s), miles per hour (mph).Please note that velocity is a vector quantity, which means not only do you need a speed but you also need a direction. Many people interchange speed and velocity in common language. Yet most don't understand the difference between the two.For example, if you say I was going 70 miles per hour on the freeway, you are describing your speed. But if you say I was going 70 mph on the north bound freeway, that is a velocity because it has a direction.the unit of velocity is m/s
What is the standard units of velocity?
Velocity is speed and its direction. The units of velocity are any unit of speed and any means of indicating a direction.
What are the units for velocity of a wave?
A unit of velocity is any unit of speed along with a direction. A unit of speed is (any unit of length) divided by (any unit of time). A few of the more popular units of speed are: -- miles per hour -- feet per second -- kilometers per hour -- meters per second -- furlongs per fortnight -- centimeters per second Add a direction to any of these, and you have a unit of velocity.
What unit is used for swell Height?
Swell height is the vertical distance (meters) between any swell crest and the succeeding swell wave trough.
What is the SI unit of wind direction?
That would be an angle; the SI unit for angle is the radian. However, that is not the unit that is commonly used in this case.
What is the most common unit of measure used in expressing direction?
degree
What is pressure used for?
Pressure is defined as the force per unit area applied in a direction perpendicular to the surface. The standard unit of pressure is the pascal (Pa). This did not answer my question on how pressure is used.
What is the metric unit for direction?
There is no metric unit for direction: the old North, East, South and West serve.
What is the measure in distance and direction?
In physics, distance is the unit which only has magnitude and not the directions.Hence,the term used for the measurement of distance and direction together is known as displacement.Distance is a scalar quantity.Distance + direction =Displacement .It is a vector quantity.

What is the best swell and wind direction for good waves to surf?
every different beach has a different swell direction where it would be best. but for most beaches, offshore wind will carve the wave and give it a tubular and glassier shape, offshore wind is where the wind blows from land to sea, or at the waves.
What is the value of i in mathematics?
i is often used to denote the [imaginary] square root of -1. It can also be the unit vector in the horizontal direction.
Unit used to measure wind direction?
Wind direction is usually identified by the heading from which it is blowing, in degrees (like the 360 degrees of the compass). More commonly, it is referred to in
Can a vector be represented in terms of unit vector?
Yes, a vector can be represented in terms of a unit vector which is in the same direction as the vector. it will be the unit vector in the direction of the vector times the magnitude of the vector.
