QuestionCalculate the wind chill $W$ for $t=5^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ and $v=1 \mathrm{~m/s}$ . Use the formula provided. $W \approx \square^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The wind chill factor is given by the provided piecewise function. The air temperature is $5^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$
3. The wind speed is $1 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{sec}$

STEP 2

Since the wind speed is $1 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{sec}$ , which falls in the range $0 \leq v <1.78$ , we use the first part of the piecewise function to find the wind chill.
$W = t$

STEP 3

Substitute the given air temperature into the equation.
$W =5^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ So, the wind chill for an air temperature of $5^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ and a wind speed of $1 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{sec}$ is $5^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ .
