What angle does rain fall at in a wind of 45 miles per hour?
30 degree angle
What is the force of attraction between any two heavenly bodies?
The force of universal gravitation. By the way ... they don't have to be heavenly bodies. A force of attraction due to universal gravitation exists between my dog and your cat, two stones on the ground that are 10,000 miles apart, my fingernail and every star in a galaxy on the other end of the universe, and any two ugly bodies.
What is the difference between speed and velocity is that velocity?
Velocity is speed and its direction. "30 miles per hour" is a speed. "30 miles per hour north" is a velocity". "30 miles per hour north" and "30 miles per hour south" are identical speeds but different velocities.
An airplane is sighted at the same time by two ground observers who are 4 miles apart and both directly west of the airplane They report the angles of elevation as 13 and How high is the airplane?
I don't Know! I am only 5.
How does distance affect the force of gravity between 2 objects?
The farther apart two objects are, the less the gravitational force between them. Gravity gets weaker with distance. To be specific, it decreases by the square of the distance. If you double the distance (multiply the distance by 2), the force of gravity is 1/22 or 1/4th as great as it was. If you triple the distance, the force is 1/32 or 1/9th as great, and so on.
If it is approximately 6200 miles from the equator to the North or south pole how many miles is it between two parallels 1 degree apart?
90 degrees from the equator to either pole, so 6200 divided by 90 is...68.8888888888888888888888888888888888...
How many miles are between all latitudes?
Each degree of latitude is 69 miles apart. The range varies because of the Earth's shape, from 68.7 at the equator to 69.4 at the poles
How far apart are the Communications satellites?
Based on 2 degree separation, at this distance above the surface, about 22,300 miles, they are about 920 miles apart
How long is 1 degree for lines of latitude and longitude?
The Earth is not a perfect sphere, and the WGS84 system that we use for degree confluences includes a mathematical model (GRS80) of the Earth as an ellipsoid. Using established GRS80 constants, and the Vincenty Algorithm (PDF document), the distance between degrees of latitude (lines that run east-west) varies from 110.57km (68.71mi) at the equator (0 degrees latitude) to 111.69km (69.40mi) between 89 degrees latitude and the poles. For the purposes of the project, we don't take these variations in the distance between degrees of latitude into account when categorizing degree confluences. Using the same calculation methods, the distance between degrees of longitude (lines that run north-south) varies between 111.32km (69.17mi) at the equator (0 degrees latitude) to 1.95km (1.21mi) at 89 degrees latitude, one degree from the north or south pole. Because the lines of longitude meet at the poles, the distance between degrees of longitude at the poles is zero.
How many statute miles are there between Portland OR and Santa Barbara CA?
They are 942 miles apart.
Lines of longitude are not called parallels because?
Because all longitudes converge (merge, meet, come together) at the north and south poles. Since parallel things can't do that, we know that lines of longitude must not be parallel, and since they are not parallel, it would be very misleading to call them parallels. The whole subject is confusing enough as it is.
What is the distance between Tokyo and kanagawa?
6 billion and 56.8 miles, and a kangoroo
How many miles are two cities that are 5.5 inches apart?
there isn't a mile there if they are 5.5 inches apart then they are 5.5 inches apart so in that situation there isn't any miles between the 2 cities
What is the relationship between latitude and nautical miles?
1 degree of latitude=60 nautical miles
What is 1 degree of longitude?
One degree of longitude is approximately 69 miles (111 km) apart at the equator; since they converge at the North and South Poles, the distance gets smaller as they near the poles.
How many kilometers are between each line of latitude?
Lines of latitude are imaginary lines that circle the earth in the East/West plane, and range from 0 degrees (the equator) to 90 degrees (the poles).Lines of latitude can be drawn every 30 degrees, or 10 degrees, as seen on many maps of the world, or they can be drawn at closer intervals, such as every 1 degree.Lines can also be drawn at fractions of a degree!e.g. New York lies between latitudes 40° 30′ N and 45° 1′ NSo, which particular lines do we want to know the distance between? Those at 10 degree intervals, at 30 degree intervals, at fractions of a degree interval, or at some other distance apart?It we stick to lines of latitude which are 1 degree apart, we find that they are, on average, about 69 miles(111 kilometers) apart.However, when we get nearer the equator they are actually only 68.703 miles (110.567 km) apart, but when we are nearer the poles they are more like 69.407 (111.699 km) apart!For more information and an explanation of why the distance differs on different parts of the earth, see Related links below.
A car travels between two towns 80 miles apart in 2 hours What is it's average speed?
If a car travels between two towns that are 80 miles apart in 2 hours, they travel at a rate of 40 miles per hour.
