When the apparent wind speed is doubled, the pressure on the sail is quadrupled. That is because the pressure on the sail (or the side of your house or a billboard sign) is proportional to the square of the speed of the wind. If the wind speed triples, then the pressure goes up by a factor of nine, because three squared is nine.

What happens to pressure if temperature is doubled?
Pressure doubles too. Temperature and pressure share a direct relationship (this is called Gay-Lussac's Law.)
If lateen sails were triangular what were the square sails called in medieval times?
Square sails are not truly square but rectangular with a longer long side on the bottom perimeter of the sail. They were and are referred to as "four-cornered" sails.
If you raise the temperature of a gas it will increase the pressure if the volume does what?
The volume stays the same if it is in a container. If it is not then the volume will increase.PV = nRTPressure times Volume = number of moles times Gas constant times temperatureThus if you raise temperature, pressure and/or volume must increase.
What happens to the speed of sound and the frequency as the amplitude doubles?
sound wii be drease by 2 times and frequency increase by 2 times.
How do you increase water pressure with poor gravity from water tank?
Simply increase the height of the tank as the pressure is a constant (.434) times the height, or approximately 1/2 PSI per foot.
What would you do to the volume of a gas to reduce its pressure to one quarter of the original value?
You could increase its volume or cool it or both.
If the current in a work piece is doubled what will be the effect on the heat energy produced?
P = I2R (power = current squared times resistance). Therefore, if the current doubles, the amount of dissipated electrical energy will increase by a factor of 4.P = I2R (power = current squared times resistance). Therefore, if the current doubles, the amount of dissipated electrical energy will increase by a factor of 4.P = I2R (power = current squared times resistance). Therefore, if the current doubles, the amount of dissipated electrical energy will increase by a factor of 4.P = I2R (power = current squared times resistance). Therefore, if the current doubles, the amount of dissipated electrical energy will increase by a factor of 4.

Why increasing the pressure of a pot of water will increase its temperature?
Pressure times Volume = Number of moles times Gas constant times Temperature The constant will not change. The number of moles is assumed not to change in a closed container. The volume unchanging, if pressure increases then the temperature would theoretically have to increase, though artificially increasing pressure without changing the volume of the container, adding energy, or introducing additional matter is very difficult, if not impossible.
On the decibel scale an increase of 10 decibels means an intensity increase of times?
10 decibels increase mean measured on a sound pressure level meter. SPL meter. Forget the intensity, because the ear drums and the microphone diaphragms are moved by the sound pressure. 10
