True/False?Justify your answer

If wind speed in a rural setting is 4m/s at 10 m from ground levelon a brightand clearsunny day, it will exceed12 m/s at thelocation of emission of pollutants from a 100-m tall stack

Answer #1

Answer = False

Because the wind speed follows the following relation:

where, v2 = 12m/s

v1= 4 m/s

Z2 = 100m

Z1 = 10m

the alpha = wind shear exponent (which has value between 0.1 - 0.2)

Thus, if given wind speed increases to 12 m/s the alpha must be around 0.47, which is not possible in a clear sunny day.

Therefore, it's a FALSE statement.

Upvote, if the answer was helpful. Thanks and have a nice & safe day.

For each of the following, answer True or False. Justify your answer! Acceleration can only change the speed of an object. If an object is moving in the x-direction but not the y-direction at one moment in time, then it will never be able to move in the y-direction. A projectile accelerates only in the vertical direction. Conservation of momentum can be applied along both axes in a collision.
