They aren't. Wind speed is the speed at which air moves. Damage is physical harm caused to objects. Strong wind can caused damage, with damage generally being more severe with faster winds. Most damage, however is not caused by wind. Damage can result from a number of natrual and human causes.

Flying with the wind a plane went 366 mph flying into the same wind the plane only went 310 mph what is the speed of the wind How fast would the plane go if there were no wind?

The speed of the wind is 28 mph. To find the speed of the plane with no wind, we would simply subtract the wind speed (28 mph) from the speed of the plane flying with the wind (366 mph) or add the wind speed to the speed of the plane flying into the wind (310 mph), resulting in 338 mph for the speed of the plane with no wind.


What is the minimum speed a tornado has to reach to be considered F5?

The scale does not rate tornadoes on wind speed but on damage. The wind speeds for the categories (F0, F1 etc) are estimates for each damage level. The wind estimates for F5 damage start at 261 mph. However, this estimates is believed to be too high. On the new scale, the wind estimates for EF5 start at 201 mph.


Which scale relates the wind speed of a hurricane to the amount of damage it causes?

The Saffir-Simpson scale is used to categorize hurricanes based on wind speed and corresponding potential for damage. It ranks hurricanes on a scale from Category 1 (weakest) to Category 5 (strongest), with higher categories indicating greater wind speeds and potential for destruction.


Does the wind speed in a jet stream stay the same?

No. The wind speed of the jet stream is constantly changing and varies at different points along it. The winds are generally fastest in the winter.


Does the amount of property damage done by a hurricane determine its strength?

No. Damage is the basis of tornado ratings, but not for hurricanes. Hurricanes are rated based on maximum sustained wind speed.

Does the wind speed affect different states the same amount of damage?

No, because the winds will get weaker.


What does the Fujita Scale link wind speed to?

Damage.


Does wind move at the same speed?

No. Wind speed varies greatly depending on the weather.


What information does the wind speed damage chart provide in relation to assessing the impact of wind speeds on structures and property?

The wind speed damage chart provides information on how different wind speeds can impact structures and property. It helps assess the potential damage that can occur based on the intensity of the wind, allowing for better preparation and mitigation strategies.


What information does the wind damage chart provide for assessing the impact of wind damage on a property?

The wind damage chart provides information on the severity of wind damage based on wind speed and the potential impact on different types of structures and properties. It helps assess the level of risk and damage that could occur due to high winds.


What gauge do scientists use to estimate the wind speed of a tornado?

Scientists usually use the severity of the damage a tornado causes to estimate its wind speed.


Why when its windy and you're cycling does the wind never push you from behind?

It does. Usually, you'll be riding at about the same speed as the windspeed. If you and the wind is moving in the same direction, at the same speed, then you're not moving in relation to the wind. For you to feel the wind pushing you along, you have to be slower than the wind.


What determinate the category of the hurricane?

The category of the hurricane is decided by the speed of the wind and the damage.


An airplane flies 500 miles with the wind and 340 miles against the wind in the same length of timeIf the speed of the wind is 40 what is the speed of the airplane in still air?

Air speed or ground speed?


How do scientists estimate wind speeds of a tornado?

Scientists use the severity of damage that a tornado causes to estimate wind speed.


What is meant by wind speed scale?

A wind speed scale is a scale that rates a storm or other weather event based on wind speed. Examples include the Beaufort scale and the Saffir-Simpson hurricane scale. The Fujita scale is sometimes called a wind speed scale, but it is really a damage scale.


What is a change of speed and direction of wind at different altitudes in the same column?

Wind shear is the change in speed and direction of wind at different altitudes in the same column. It can create turbulence and impact aircraft operations.
