Question

which of the following does wind chill not affect?

a) a Penguin

b) a Wolf

c) Water

d) a Beaver

Answer 1

c) water. Wind chill is a perceived temperature by the skin. If an object is inanimate (i.e. not alive) there is no wind chill because the object cannot "feel" the combined effect of wind and cold.

Answer 2

The answer is C) Water.
The wind chill temperature is what the temperature "feels like" to people and animals during cold weather. Wind chill is based on the rate of heat loss from exposed skin caused by wind and cold. As the wind increases, it draws heat from the body, driving down skin temperature and eventually the internal body temperature.
Animals have the sense of feeling, water does not.

Answer 3

Windchill effect (it is basically a factor which by looking a corresponding chart indicates something) is the name given to the combined effect of relative wind speed and temperature. so if none is moving all will have the same effect.
now for further reference see NP100 i.e 'Mariners Handbook' chapter 7- section 7.56 i.e windchill.
also about why penguins feel less cold?? you must read a book "why Penguins Feet don't freeze?" which has some 150 similar odd questions with answers..

Answer 4

I guess depending on how you look at it, the answer would be none of them since wind will take heat from the water as well as the animals. However, my understanding is that windchill is what the ambient air "feels" like. Therefore, based on that understanding, I would say that water is not affected by wind chill.

Answer 5

C because if you think about it. It can be freezing rain and the wind chill can be 21 degrees and the temperture can be 35 degrees and the water doesnt freeze at all.

Answer 6

C.. because it takes a lot of cold weather to freeze water to ice so a wind chill will not effect water..

Answer 7

a) a Penguin
The temperatures that these birds are able to withstand, the fact that they are the only bird that stays in the Arctic throughout the entire year, and the way that they collaborate their efforts of huddling to survive really will inspire you and touch your heart. These birds withstand wind chill factors that we cannot even begin to imagine, even if we have lived in cold weather climates; they withstand temperatures that could kill us in a matter of minutes, even if we have experience with cold weather; and they breed in some of the harshest, coldest, wettest conditions that you can possibly imagine.

Answer 8

C
