True wind is the actual speed and direction of the wind from a fixed point on the Earth's surface. Relative wind, on the other hand, is the wind experienced by an object in motion, such as a ship, taking into account both the true wind and the speed and direction of the object's travel. In the case of a ship, the relative wind is the combination of the true wind and the ship's own speed and direction.
What else can I help you with?
Is it true that the highest relative humidity on a particular day usually occurs in the mid-afternoon?
No, it is not necessarily true that the highest relative humidity occurs in the mid-afternoon. Relative humidity can vary depending on various factors such as temperature, wind speed, and time of day. In some cases, the highest relative humidity may occur early in the morning or late at night.
Is it true that solar wind occurs as gusts of winds on the sun similar to strong wind gusts on the earth?
True.
Wind speed is often measured with an anemometer true or false?
true
Is a psychrometer used in measuring wind?
No, a psychrometer is utilized to measure the relative humidity in the air by comparing the readings between a dry-bulb thermometer and a wet-bulb thermometer. Wind speed is typically measured using anemometers or other wind-measuring devices.
What is the Opposite of leeward?
The opposite of leeward is windward, which refers to the direction from which the wind is coming. Windward is on the side of a ship, aircraft, or object facing the wind.
True oR false a wind vane measures the speed of a wind?
Rain gauage is used in measuring relative humidity.
What is difference between relative motion and true motion in electronic navigation?
Relative motion in electronic navigation refers to the movement of a vessel in relation to fixed objects or other vessels. True motion, on the other hand, refers to the actual movement of the vessel independent of any external reference points. In electronic navigation, true motion is typically used for course plotting and position fixing, while relative motion is used for determining collision avoidance and situational awareness.
How do sails help galleons?
Sails use the wind to move a ship or boat. This has been true in the ancient past to the current day.
Is it true that the highest relative humidity on a particular day usually occurs in the mid-afternoon?
No, it is not necessarily true that the highest relative humidity occurs in the mid-afternoon. Relative humidity can vary depending on various factors such as temperature, wind speed, and time of day. In some cases, the highest relative humidity may occur early in the morning or late at night.
How can a bird remain stationary in the air while flying into the wind?
If the headwind is 20 miles per hour and the bird also flies at 20 mph relative to the wind then the bird will be stationary relative to the earth. However, the bird is not stationary relative to the wind.
What is relative wind speed?
Relative for starters means exact or close to. Wind Speed is how fast the air is blowing. It other words, this would mean an estimate or exact measurement to the Wind Speed.
What is a ship that can sail into the wind?
caravel
Where is the golden ship on the Legend of Zelda wind waker?
I don't think there is a golden ship. But there is a ghost ship.
Is there a ghost ship 2?
No, there is only one Ghost Ship in The Wind Waker.
What powered Da Gamas ships?
Vasco Da Gama's ship was powered by the wind, it was a sailing boat.
A 1500 ship that could sail onto the wind?
No wind-powered boat/ship can sail directly INTO the wind, according to the laws of Physics as we know them. Forty-five degrees is about the closest possible angle.
Why should you not lower a ship's sail when there is a storm?
the sail catches the wind and keeps the ship going
