Question

The cold wind causes us to feel the air temperature cold. This is called the cooling effect of the wind. Wind with a speed of 60 km per hour causes the air temperature to feel 8 ° C cooler in Ağrı. When the air temperature in Ağrı is -3 ° C, how many degrees is the air temperature felt?

Answer 1

The air temperature is felt at -11 ºC.

Explanation:

According to the statement, wind flow causes that air temperature is apparently lower than real temperature. If wind causes the air temperature to feel 8 ºC cooler in Ağrı and real temperature is -3 ºC, then the apparent temperature is:

`T = -3\,^(\circ)C -8\,^(\circ)C`

`T = -11\,^(\circ)C`

The air temperature is felt at -11 ºC.
