What was the wind speed in the philadelphia Mississippi tornado?
If you mean the one from April 27, 2011, the wind speed for that tornado was estimated at 205 mph (330 km/h), qualifying it as an EF5. Some have suggested, however, that the severe ground scouring caused by this tornado indicates winds far higher than 205 mph.
How does initial velocity affect the projectile in range?
The initial velocity of a projectile affects its range by determining how far the projectile will travel horizontally before hitting the ground. A higher initial velocity will result in a longer range because the projectile has more speed to overcome air resistance and travel further. Conversely, a lower initial velocity will result in a shorter range as the projectile doesn't travel as far before hitting the ground.
How far will a 9mm bullet travel before it begins to fall?
A 9mm bullet will travel approximately 2200 meters before it begins to descend to the ground. However, unless the person shooting the gun is in a open field, the bullet will not travel that far before hitting something.
Is a downburst like a tornado?
Not really. Both a tornado and a downburst are high-wind events that occur during a thunderstorm, but that is where the similarity ends. A tornado is a violently rotating vortex of wind in which air spirals inward and then upward. They are often made visible by a distinct condensation funnel. They can produce far stronger winds than a downburst. A downburst is an intense straight-line wind event in which rain-cooled air travels rapidly downward and outward with no significant rotation. There is no condensation funnel.
Can or cannot a radar track down a tornado?
Doppler radar can, but with some limits. Doppler radar can detect rotation of a tornado, as well as the larger rotation that may produce one, but it cannot tell if the rotation reaches the ground. Additionally, radar may fail to detect weak tornadoes and tornadoes that are very far away.
Is the tornado in South Carolina going to come to New York?
No. A tornado can't travel that far. Also, unless it is already developing it is impossible to tell exactly where or when a tornado will hit.
How far did the Goliad TX tornado travel?
The known path length of the Goliad tornado was about 15 miles. The path may have been longer, though, as little is known about what the tornado did prior to hitting Goliad.
Where does a tornado gets its strength to travel so far?
Tornadoes get their strength from the storms that produce them. The storms in turn get their energy from instability in the air.
How far can a tornado go in an hour?
A typical tornado will travel about 30 miles (about 50 km) in an hour, with some of the faster ones moving up to 60 miles. However, very few tornadoes last that long.
How much area does a tornado take?
It depends on the tornado. Tornadoes vary greatly in both size and in how far they travel. A typical tornado is 50 to 100 yards wide and travels a mile or two, so the area affected is quite small. The very largest tornadoes can be well over a mile wide and the longest-lasting can travel a couple hundred miles.
Where was the hardest tornado so far?
The hardest tornado was in Texas, USA.
How far can tornadoes move?
The distance that tornadoes travel varies greatly. Most tornadoes travel a mile or two, but long track tornadoes can travel for well over 100 miles. The longest tornado path on record was 219 miles.
Will there be a tornado in NY Buffalo today?
Tornadoes cannot be predicted so far in advance. The only way you can know that a town or city will likely be hit, is if the tornado is already on the ground and heading toward that community. The chances of a given location being hit byt a tornado on any given day, though, are quite small.
How far do tornadoes go?
The average tornado is on the ground for 5 miles. Some damage paths are just a few yards long. The longest ever recorded was 219 miles.
How can people get tossed back on the ground by a tornado?
A wind greater than 90 mph can lift a person off the ground. If a person gets tossed out of the wind field they simply fall back to the ground. Some, whole do not have far to fall, have escaped without serious injury.
Is it to far or too far to travel for you?
"Too far to travel for you"
How far does a typical tornado last?
The average tornado lasts about 10 minutes and travels about 5 miles.
