What is the map line called that shows constant compass directions?
Conformal
How does a compass determine the directions?
The term "compass direction" means a direction shown by a magnetic compass, one whose needle will be drawn to a north-south alignment. When at a location and facing a certain direction, the "compass direction" is the one at the top (front) of the moving compass rose. If a location is in that direction, it is the indicated compass direction from the current point.On a map, the direction from one point to another is indicated by the up-down and left-right line between the points, and the compass directions are indicated by a compass rose on the map.
What cause an object to be accelerating in a straight line?
A constant force in the direction of the line
Best description of a magnetic field line?
A magnetic field line shows the direction a compass needle would point
What characterizes constant velocity motion on a position time graph?
A straight line with a constant slope. But the reverse is not true. A straight line with a constant slope only means constant speed in the radial direction. The velocity may have components at right angles to the radial direction that are changing.
In uniform circulation motion is the velocity constant?
No. The direction keeps changing. Constant velocity means constant speed in a straight line.
Choose the best description of a magnetic field line.?
A magnetic field line shows the direction a compass needle would point.
How does a compass aid in navigation?
A compass is a great tool for navigation because you can use it by itself to head in a straight line or just know what direction is which. If you use a map with a compass then you can use triangulation. This is where you orientate the map and then find three points and draw a line from them towards you based on their direction from the compass. This will tell you where you are and from this you can determine the direction to travel. All of this though was replaced with the invention of the GPS. This is a link about triangulation but they have images which might help understand better http://www.ussartf.org/compass_basics.htm.
How can you determine the direction on a map without a compass rose?
You can determine the direction on a map without a compass rose by using cardinal direction.
Why it's it not why * diagram of a compass showing direction.?
its not why its just A diagram of a compass showing direction.
If a car is traveling in a straight line at a constant speed is it accelerating?
No. 'Acceleration' means a change in speed or direction over time. If the car is moving at a constant speed in a constant direction, then it isn't accelerating.
What is the different between constant velocity and constant speed?
constant velocity is when you maintain speed and direction, this usually is in a straight line, and constant speed means that your speed is always constant at all times.
