Here is my weekly weather quiz question for the last time. What is “Kinetic Energy? Here is the correct answer.  Kinetic Energy is energy that a body has as a result of its motion. Mathematically, it is defined as one-half the product of a body’s mass and the square of its speed (KE = 1/2 * mass * velocity squared).

The graphics for days 1-3 show the cold front that’s moving through the Pacific Northwest. The graphics for days 3-7  Tuesday through Saturday show the series of complex frontal systems that will slide into the Pacific Northwest through the period.

Here is my weekly weather quiz question for the last time. What is the “Kelvin Temperature Scale? Here is the correct answer.  The Kelvin Temperature Scale is an absolute temperature scale in which a change of 1 Kelvin equals a change of 1 degree Celsius; 0ºK is the lowest temperature on the Kelvin scale. The freezing point of water is +273ºK (Kelvin) and the boiling point of +373ºK. It is used primarily for scientific purposes. It is also known as the Absolute Temperature Scale.
