Why the anemometer is important?
The reason the anemometer is so important is because you use it to measure the velocity of the wind and to measure pressure of the wind ----
What does an anemometer measure other than wind velocity?
It measures wind pressure
Why is it important for airplane pilots to know wind velocity and not just wind speed during a flight?
Wind velocity is vector quantity. direction is also important.
What is a nutrient that carries substances throughout the body?
Anemometer-An anemometer is a device for measuring wind speed, and is one instrument used in a weather station. The term is derived from the Greek word, anemos, meaning wind.Anemometers can be divided into two classes: those that measure the velocity of the wind, and those that measure the pressure of the wind, but as there is a close connection between the pressure and the velocity and a suitable anemometer of either class will give information about both these quantities.
What information does a anemometer gather?
It measures either the velocity or the pressure of the wind.
If the pressure gradient force's rate of elevation is steep wind velocity is?
---STRONGER
As the pressure gradient increases wind velocity increase decrease or remains the same?
As the pressure gradient increases, the wind velocity increases. This is because a larger pressure gradient indicates a greater difference in pressure between two points, leading to a stronger force exerted on the air. This stronger force results in faster wind velocities.
How do you get area given pressure and velocity?
Velocity is not involved in the definition of pressure, so knowing it doesn't help you calculate pressure. Pressure = force/area You may be talking about wind pressure, which obviously does depend on the speed of the wind, or on the speed of the object through quiet air. In order to know the wind force, you have to know the specific size, shape, dimensions, and surface texture of the object past which the air is moving.
What generally happens to atmospheric pressure on a windy day?
On a windy day atmospheric pressure decreases because the higher the wind velocity, the lower the air pressure, or atmospheric pressure. This is how chimneys work, the air that moves above the chimney causes low air pressure because of the high wind velocity compared the velocity of the air inside a house. The air inside the house goes towards the low air pressure and takes the smoke with it.
How come wind is only measured in a barometer?
Actually, a barometer is an instrument for measuring air pressure, or atmospheric pressure, but not wind speed or the "pressure" of a wind. This atmospheric pressure is caused by the weight of air above the point of measurement. The instrument that measures wind speed is called an anemometer. Wind direction is indicated by a weather vane.
What is the instrument which is on a tall pole and has a copper type ball on the top show picture with explanation?
You are describing an anemometer.This is for measuring wind velocity.
Does the weather vane measure wind speed or air pressure?
An anemometer is used to measure
