Newbie has question about Energy of a cane

#1 Postby wayoutfront » Tue Sep 16, 2003 1:34 pm

I am such a newbie amatuer wannabe enthusist

A hurricane holds a certain amount of Energy?

I know wind speeds are a decent measure of the force of the cane, but if you took a cane with a huge eyewall radius like Izzy 3 days ago, and compacted her eyewall to half its size, doesn't reason dictate the eyewall speed would be slower for the same rotation?

If the Volumn and Matter are still the same, and rotation appears the same, wouldn't the torque and force be the same?

Also when a cane hits a ridge, does the hurricane transfer energy?

just curious
