What does the fujita scale use to rate tornado intensity?

The Fujita scale uses the severity of the damage a tornado causes to determine its rating.


What would a bathroom scale show if a 50-kg person where weighted on Jupiter?

It wouldn't register anything; the scale and the person on it would immediately enter into freefall as there is no solid surface. Assuming there is something to support you, the gravity at the "surface" Jupiter (where atmospheric pressure is 1 bar) is about 2.5 times that of Earth's, so the scale would register 125 kg for a 50 kg person.


What scale do you use to measure tornadoes?

Tornadoes are typically measured on the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale, which ranges from EF0 (weakest) to EF5 (strongest) based on the tornado's intensity and damage it causes. The EF scale takes into account observed damage to estimate the wind speeds of a tornado.


What tool do meteorologists use to rate the strength intensity of a tornado?

Meteorologists use the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale to rate the intensity of a tornado. The EF scale ranges from EF0 (weakest) to EF5 (strongest). It takes into account the damage caused by the tornado to estimate its wind speed, as well as the type of structures affected. The scale provides a standardized way to communicate the strength of a tornado to the public.


What is the correct way to weigh yourself and stand on the scale?

Depends on the type of scale you're using, but regardless there should be some tips to follow. Stand up straight, with all of your weight over the scale, both feet on the scale. (If both of your feet are on the scale it shouldn't really matter how you stand, gravity will pull your weight down onto the scale and the scale will measure your weight.) Don't hold on to anything or support your weight on any external object. Also, make sure that the scale is on a firm, flat surface. A lino floor or cement floor would be the best. If you're using a hospital type scale, (the type will the little weights across a bar that you have to slide over to get a correct measurement) make sure that you stand still. Any movement will cause the balance to move and make correct weight measurement very difficult.
