Question

The force of the wind over an area increases as the square of the wind velocity. O True O False

Answer 1

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The wind will exert a force on a body no matter the size of the object

The force on an object due to wind is given by

$F=\frac{1}{2}\rho Av^2$

The unit is Newton

Where,

$\rho$ = Density of air

A = Surface area of object

v = Velocity of air

Hence, it is true that the force of the wind over an area increases as the square of the wind velocity.
