The pH scale relates to the acidity (or otherwise) of a solution, & what determines how acidic a solution is is the concentration of hydrogen ions the solution contains. I forget the details of how or why, but it was worked out that the difference in hydrogen ion concentrations in typical solutions could vary by a factor of 1014, and that in a neutral solution the hydrogen ion concentration is 1.0 x 10-7, with more acidic solutions going up to a concentration of 1.0 x 10-1 and more basic solutions going down to 1.0 x 10-13. But these figures are quite a mouthful to either say or write, and so the pH scale was introduced; remembering that 1.0 x 10-7 was the neutral concentration, 7 was put in the middle of the scale, with the figures going up & down on either side.

What is the difference between a F1 tornado and an EF1 tornado?

There is very little difference. In February of 2007 the Fujita or "F" scale was replaced with the Enhanced Fujita or "EF" scale. The EF scale uses more detailed analysis of damage than the original F scale so that tornadoes can be rated more accurately. The EF scale also provides different estimates of wind speeds for the degrees of damage. So EF1 damage is essentially the same as F1 damage but it may be examined in greater detail. Additionally F1 wind estimates range from 73 mph to 112 mph while EF1 wind estimates range from 86 mph to 110 mph.


What is an EF1 tornado?

The EF Scale (Enhanced Fujita Scale) measures the strength of a tornado from EF0 to EF5 based on damage An EF1 is the second weakest category, with estimated wind from 86 to 110 mph. Damage includes badly stripped roofs, broken windows, and overturned trailers.


What is the highest wind speed for f1 tornado?

On the original Fujita scale the top wind es for an F1 tornado were set at 112 mph. Winds estimates on the more accurate Enhanced Fujita scale were adjusted for all categories, but the upper bound for anEF1 tornado was shifted only slightly to 110 mph.


What is equal to 110 Fahrenheit in celsius?

110 degrees Fahrenheit is 43.333 degrees Celsius


What is 110 Fahrenheit in Celsius?

110 Fahrenheit is 43.3 Celsius.C= (F-32)/1.8 in this case c=(110-32) = 78 now you divide 78 by 1.8 ( is equivalent to 5/9) and you get 43.33 C110°F = 43.3°C (110°F - 32) multiplied by 5/9 = 43.3°C

Suppose that a 50.0 kg woman were standing on a bathroom scale in this elevator car what would the scale read?

On the way up:-Before the car started moving, it would read 490 newtons (110 pounds).-When the car started moving up, the scale would read more, until the car achieved its normal upward speed.-As long as the car maintained its steady normal speed, the scale would again read 490 newtons (110 pounds).-As the car approached its destination level and began to slow down, the scale would read less, until the car stopped.-When the car stopped, the scale reading would return to its normal 490 newtons (110 pounds).On the way down:-Before the car started moving, it would read 490 newtons (110 pounds).-When the car started moving down, the scale would read less, until the car achieved its normal downward speed.-As long as the car maintained its steady normal speed, the scale would again read 490 newtons (110 pounds).-As the car approached its destination level and began to slow down, the scale would read more, until the car stopped.-When the car stopped, the scale reading would return to its normal 490 newtons (110 pounds).================================All numbers are rounded.

How were hurricanes measured before the Saffir-Simpson Scale?

Prior to the development of the Saffir-Simpson scale there was no rating system for hurricanes. The only distinction made was between major hurricanes with winds over 110 mph and minor hurricanes with sustained winds of 110 mph or less.
