Do projectiles move in a straight line?
A projectile (shot from a cannon, for instance) will fly in a curved line and land on the ground, due to the attraction of the Earth's gravity. Snipers have to allow for this curvature effect, and also the side pressure from any wind.
Does wind move in a straight line?
No. It is affected by localised pressure differences, thermals - which depend on the the heat-retention property of the surface, surface contours (including man-made ones).
What is the meaning of a perimeter of triangle?
The 'perimeter' of any closed figure drawn on paper means the total distance around it. If the figure consists of straight lines, then the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all the straight-line pieces. If you set an ant down at a certain point on the figure and he started walking along the line, the perimeter is the distance he would have to walk in order to wind up at the point where he started.
What does it mean to you if your area has been deemed a 'national catastrophe area' in terms of a claim for wind damage?
Most homeowners policies now have an total exclusion for wind damage or a higher deductible for hurricane damages. This should be stated on the declarations page of your policy (where you see your coverages and limits and cost of each). //
How many gallons of gas would you need to travel 566 miles in a yukon xl?
Too many unknown variables ! What's the mpg, is it a flat road, it the road straight, wind speed & direction....
An intense concentration of downdraft winds that can reach 100 mph resulting in extensive straight line wind damage is called what?
This phenomenon is called a derecho. It is a widespread and long-lived wind storm associated with a band of rapidly moving showers or thunderstorms. Derechos can cause significant damage over large areas due to the intense straight-line winds they produce.
What are straight lined winds?
Straight line winds are, convective wind gusts, outflow and downbursts. Straight-line wind is wind that comes out of a thunderstorm.
What damage does hurracanes cause?
Wind damage, rain, and flooding.
What is a plow wind?
A plow wind is a type of straight-line windstorm that can produce significant damage. It is often associated with thunderstorms and is characterized by strong gusts of wind that can down trees and power lines and cause widespread destruction in a localized area. Plow winds get their name because they can flatten fields and buildings in a manner akin to a plow.
What causes damage from a tornado?
Tornadoes primarily cause damage with their intense winds. Strcutres may be torn apart or collapse under the force of the wind. Some damage is also cause damage through debris carried by the wind.
What can monsoons cause?
the problem it can cause is destroying houses, wind damage and flooding
What problems can Monsoon cause?
the problem it can cause is destroying houses, wind damage and flooding
Why conditions cause wind and rotating storms to form?
Wind forms due to differences in air pressure, temperature, and density. Rotating storms, like tornadoes and hurricanes, form when warm, moist air near the surface rises and is replaced by cooler air. The rotation is caused by the Earth's rotation and dynamic pressure systems.
What are three harmful effects of the wind?
Wind can cause soil erosion. Wind can also cause property and structural damage. Wind disperses non-native plant seeds that can become invasive.
What damage does the wind do to the environment?
Strong wind can cause damage to trees by breaking branches or uprooting them. Wind erosion can remove topsoil, leading to desertification and loss of soil fertility. Wind can also spread wildfires by quickly carrying embers to new areas.
What causes winds to deviate from straight -line paths?
Many things cause wind to alter its path. Wind can encounter other wind moving in another direction. It can encounter solid obstacles such as mountains. It can be affected by sunlight, causing hot air to rise from the ground.
What are some of the factors that might interrupt the wind blowing in a straight line forever?
Some factors that might interrupt wind blowing in a straight line forever include changes in temperature, differences in air pressure, the presence of obstacles or geographical features that cause air to shift direction, and the Earth's rotation creating the Coriolis effect.
