how do forecasters predict hurricanes?

Weather forecaster can predict hurricanes through two methods:

Explanation:

Prediction of Hurricanes

With the help of elementary statistics, meteorologists can predict the intensity of hurricanes coming in specific regions with the approximate wind speeds. The possible trajectory of hurricanes can be drawn as a cone which is updated by estimating the error in the prediction.

Based on the past events of hurricanes and the current climate conditions, a statistical regression equation is formed. There are many many models such as NHC90 and BAM that help meteorologists to predict the intensity of waves and eventually the probability of hurricanes coming in specific regions.

the velocity you are looking for is made up of two parts: horizontally velocity, vh, and its vertical velocity, vv. the actual velocity of the ball will be these two parts added together, and because velocity is a vector then they will need to be added vectorially.  

neglecting air resistance etc etc.,  

the horizontal velocity component will be constant (because there is no accelerating force in the horizontal direction.  

vh = 8 ms-1  

the vertical velocity component has an accelerating force: 'g'.  

using v = u +at where a = g = 9.81 ms-2.  

the vertical component of velocity, vv = 0 + gt = vv =9.81 x 2  

vv = 19.62 ms-1 . the zero appears because the virtical component of velocity at time t=0 is zero. remember, the ball was thrown horizontally.  

how fast it will be moving (it actual path (being a parabola )) will be the vector sum of these two.  

adding vectorally gives: -  

v = sqr root (8^2 + 19.62^2) = sqr root(64+384.9) = 21.18 or 21.2 ms-1
