Satellite feeds show that a wind has speed of 10 km/h going to the south.
It will meet Habagat (southwest monsoon) whose speed is 7.72 m/s which
is moving 30° southwest. Suppose that no other force affects these winds,
and they meet, is there a need for PAGASA to issue a public storm warning
signal (PSWS)? Yes or No? Why?
Note: Conversion of units is needed to solve the problem.
Show all necessary solutions with diagrams and label all vectors properly.
Resultant vector's magnitude and direction.
Typhoon signal number 1 has 30 to 60 km/h wind speed.
Explain the relationship between air pressure and volume. ?
if i have wind speed data for
1997, can we predict how likely
the wind speed will change in
2022? It is known that the
average annual wind speed in
1997 was 2,205 m/s with a
mass density of 1.17 kg/m3.
what is the probable speed in
2022?
