75 mph winds can move objects weighing up to 20 pounds.
Molecules in the air move at speeds that vary due to factors like temperature and pressure. On average, at room temperature, most molecules in the air move at speeds ranging from 300-500 meters per second.
The average speed of air particles in a room is typically much slower, around 500-1000 miles per hour, compared to a car going 50 mph. Air particles move due to random thermal motions rather than in a directed manner like a car.
The impact of a collision at 60 mph is four times greater than at 30 mph.
Tornado wind speeds can range from 65 mph to over 300 mph, with the most powerful tornadoes having wind speeds exceeding 200 mph. However, the average wind speed of a tornado is around 110 mph.
